Q: Selected folder is not writable
Hello,
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Preview now gives this error when trying to scan: "Selected folder is not writable."
I have read other posts on this issue, and using "Image Capture" I was able to scan. Image Capture and Preview interfaces look identicle excpet for one small thing. Image Capture lest you pick the detination of the scan. Preview does not.
I thought that after using Image Capture and setting the location for the scan, that Preview would then use the same diestination. Not true. How can I set the default location so that Preview works again?
Thanks
OS X Mountain Lion

What happens if you move the ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview folder to the desktop, relaunch Preview, and then try to scan again? The folder should be recreated, and the scanned document should open in a new window.
