MetaImage cannot write data to files. Can load photographs and make edits, however when I “Save all files,” this error message appears:
[!WARNING]
Please check your files, some tasks have failed. Note that enabling full disk access in the system settings is recommended.
JSON file creation failed
Full Disk Access is enabled for MetaImage.
The file permissions are set to read and write.
Operating system: Sonoma 14.6.1
MetaImage version: Paddle 2.6.7 (6306)
i am not able to run the program as an administrator. This should not make a difference. This is just full disclosure.
Thanks for the feedback. Is this happening with all files or just some?
Jeremy,
All files, at least I have not been able to find any to which I can write. As stated, I do not have Administrator permissions, however Full Disk Access is granted to MetaImage.
Full Disk Access is a significant advantage that enables the app to bypass file copying for security reasons. However, it’s not a strict requirement. Notably, the app is compatible with sandboxing. During the writing process, MetaImage creates temporary JSON files in the temporary folder accessible through the app settings panel > advanced > backup folder. Unfortunately, for some reason, in your case, the app cannot write to this folder on your Mac. I’m at a loss to understand the origin of this issue. I’ll test it myself and let you know if I can reproduce it.
