Default Structure 1.1 Error Saving Patches

Hello all,
I just purchased Structure 1.1, and I'm having problems saving patches.
Here's the situation:
I make a patch from my own samples and save it to disc.
I then further edit the patch and attempt to save my new edits.
When I save over the previously written patch, I receive a message that reads:
"An error occurred while writing the patch file."
The patch is no longer usable from this point.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I'm on a Mac, OS 10.6.5 with Pro Tools HD9.
Thank you.

If you create a new session and run a dummy test can you reproduce?

Yes, it happens with all my sessions. I'm at the point now where I can't save anything with Structure.
I'm a big fan of reformatting and installing everything clean, and that's what I'm going to do now.
Thanks for the reply.

The problem is that you are trying to save over the original patch. This has been a long-time problem with Structure. You have to save as a different name.

Also, if you try to delve into the metadata editing in the database, you'll find problems there too when writing back to the patch..

I completed a fresh install of OSX, Pro Tools, and the Instrument Expansion Pack. I receive the same error when saving over the patch.
Now I see Top Jimmy's post. Thank you for the information.
I will try a few patches saving with different names.
Thanks again.

Long standing problem for Mac as I have not seen that problem on PC for any version of Structure.

When I do not save over a patch using the same name, Structure works perfectly. It's probably a better work flow to save incrementally with different names, anyway.
Thank you for the much needed information.
As one thing leads to another, I've started a new thread with a related question that has now arisen.
Maybe one of you can shine some light on the following:

IIRC, it's monolithic files that are the problem. I just tried in Structure LE 1.0.5 on PC and a patch with external samples would overwrite but a monolithic patch would not.

Overwriting Monolithic Patches with Structure does not have this problem. Interesting Top Jimmy.
