Nomad on mac unable to save to persistent storage

Save as works normally, even to the show file archive location in Documents/ETC/Eos/ShowArchive. Clicking save or shift + update results in save failed. I've tried a deep clear as well as following a help article that said to check permissions on the Resources folder in one of the apps. Any ideas?

Eos version 3.0.2 Build 6

macOS 11.4 (M1)

  • I will keep an eye out for that and see if it feels related but my sense is that it isn't. I save to dropbox occasionally for backup / archive purposes but typically as I am working I am saving locally.

    Also this might be related: I can see Show File Archive when I go into Save As as a top level directory as I would expect to (at the same level as the main drive and removable storage). If I click on that though it immediately disappears without letting me get inside of it. When I say I can save as to the show file archive I have to go through the entire folder structure (into users, into my user, into documents, etc) and that works.

  • Here I made a little recording to demonstrate.

  • Your ShowArchive path appears to be pointing to your Dropbox Sync folder, not to /Users/johnd/Documents/... which is where you saved that file in the video.

    Please try reverting the ShowArchive path back to default in the shell, and see if that clears it up.

  • Oh! Resetting fixed it! Thank you. It looks like it wasn't pointing to my dropbox but it did have the wrong username in the filepath. Somehow for some reason it was set to Users/johndigiorgio/... instead of Users/johnd/...

    It was subtle enough that I didn't notice. the other two archives were correct so I don't know what happened there. I think I may have changed my user name on the computer at some point.

    Thank you so much.
