Won't open file if moved to partitioned hd

[joseph56]

So if I try to save or open an animator file which was moved to a partition on on my hd which does not have os x,animator puts up an error opening file type message.

If I move the file back to the main hd it works. Something to do with the usb key?

It won't save a new file to the partition either.

Anybody else have the problem?

I'm on os 10.4.11.

I'll check on leopard and see if the same thing happens.

Ola Joseph,

Probably is a OSX permission problem only, dongles works for the entire machine you had it connected, btw: I have 4 HDs in my machine, only 2 with OSX, everyone working fine.

Thanks

It could also be a path problem. Animator and Camera support UNIX file paths under OS X. These are typically of the form /Volumes/ProDrive/amac.png

If you have named your partition using an unusual symbol ([\|') you may

have this trouble.

Ola Matt,

Thanks a lot for your tip.

I don't know if this would help, but ypu could try setting the partition to ignore permissions via the checkbox at the bottom of the Information panel (select the Volume, CMD-I).
