Unable to save modified plugin presets

Post by Rhetro »

Hello

Just spent a good deal of time talking with MOTU on this an to no avail. I'm in OS Lion with DP 7.24 and can call up plugins, tweak them, but cannot save them under Save Settings. I've tried everything from repairing disk permissions, to reinstalling 7.24u and nothing. I either get an error 'chirp', or a 'MacOS error file not found (-43)' message.

Anybody else seeing this?

Thanks!

Hi,

I don't use Lion yet, but usually setting Permissions of the folder where the presets are stored to "read and write" for everyone, and then selecting "Apply to enclosed Items" from the little gear thingy will do the trick.

Thanks Dan.

Yeah, that's what the help desk at Motu walked me through. Made sense, but didn't do the trick. Looks like I have to uninstall everything, repair permissions, restart, and reinstall -oh well.

I do appreciate it though!

If anyone finds the easter egg fix for this let me know! Miles away from my DP7 cd rom!!! :|

Thanks again!
