Dropbox holds files open sometimes. Try saving somewhere else.

 

[Martin]

Thanks Uckelman

I choose the save destination when starting the logfile, - is there any way of saving somewhere other than Dropbox where I can keep this log that I am at the end of?! If I choose "Save game as", then I think it only saves the current situation and not the log :-(

Thanks,
Martin

The development branch for 3.5 takes a different approach to saving files, given that we've found network drives on Windows to be increasingly hostile. Until then, I'd choose a location on a local drive to start with if you're having this problem often.

 

[Martin]

OK, thanks. I've been using Dropbox for about four years for logfiles and first time I've had this problem.

Thanks again, will save on local drive initially from now on

I don't think this is a drop box issue. I noted this error, too, and I don't use drop box.

I have had the same problem with Dropbox recently.
I now save my logfiles on Google Drive.

I seen this when saving to Dropbox sometimes. When I’ve had this I click OK and tried the save again. It’s always worked the second time for me.

 

[DougRim]

I don't think this is a drop box issue. I noted this error, too, and I don't use drop box.

See Uckelman's post: it may be any network location (ie non-local device). I have not heard of anyone having an issue when trying to save to local drives.

Personally, I have been able to save games to dropbox. But I don't use logfiles.

See this thread - I don't use dropbox and experience the same behavior.

 

[Martin]

damn, had same issue with dropbox last night where a logfile ould not be saved to Dropbox. i will stop saving to dropbox directly now and instead save to "desktop" and then copy paste logfile to dropbox.

what do you PbEM guys find the easiest way of sharing logfiles (fewest clicks)? saving to a folder on computer and then attaching to an email or what do you do? thanks, martin

 

[uckelman]

I'd be interested to hear how you find 3.5.0-beta1 in this regard. Saving to a network drive using Windows should work better now (but cannot be done 100% reliably no matter what we do, as we can't control when other processes might have a file open).

Try cancelling the save and then trying the save again. I’ve always had it work the second time.

This.

This fails to work most of the time for me.

 

[Martin]

hi again, now I'm always saving to Windows "Desktop", but get this problem 20 % of the time (log can't be saved), so have to begin a new logfile, all over. have any of you changed anything than solved this problem, for instance updated to another VASSAL version? still using 3.4.6 here, hesitant to try 3.5.0-beta1, since i have 2 long term PbEM opponents right now.
thanks, martin

What happens when you try to save with VASSAL-3.4.12-SNAPSHOT-zip_dir_fix, which you can get here?
