Bug when trying to Save

[Onager1286]

Hey guys I posted this before but it was never really resolved.

Since I upgraded to Pro Tools 9, I frequently (but not necessarily consistently) get an error when using the Ctrl+S command to save my session. I forget precisely what the error is, but it is something to the effect of that it can't save over the current session. I hit ok, and when I again hit Ctrl+S it brings up the Save As prompt... so I basically have to rename it and save it as a separate session file.

This happens sometimes 5 or 6 times during the course of an hour which, while not threatening to the session in any way, is obviously extremely annoying and adds unnecessary clutter. This is a problem only in Windows as far as I can tell, as I haven't encountered it on my Snow Leopard machine.

Has anyone else run into this issue? I have reinstalled Windows and Pro Tools and the same thing happens, by the way.

I haven't seen this here. Does this happen with the dropdown menu also?

Hmm good question, next time it comes up I'll see and report back.

Alright it happened again. I checked if it happened with the dropdown menu and the same thing occurs. Here's the error it gives me:

Could not save as "Property Line" because Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (183) f:\Recording Sessions\Personal Sessions\Property Line\dofhsopdhfso\sfopshjdifo -> f:\Recording Sessions\Personal Sessions\Property Line\Property Line.ptf.

where the random letters in there are not the exact ones but they are random in the actual message.

I'm surprised that I seem to be the only one having this issue.

Any thoughts, anyone?

Not trying to be bothersome but does no one else at all have this issue?

"Run As" Pro Tools as Administrator?

Maybe check the security on the folder in Windows. Windows inherits security from parent folder and sometimes goes a bit wobbly.
