Hello every one. The following question that I hope someone can help to answer. I use DXO pro for editing my images. When I send some of the edited images to the original folder or to another folder, I get a message 'the destination folder cannot be found'. Does anyone has an idea what the trouble may be? I work with a early 2008 Mac Pro....yes, 10 years now and still going strong....
Use the Finder to navigate to the destination folder. Select the folder, then choose GetInfo form the File menu. You should see many things about that folder, but the most important for this discussion are permissions, at the bottom:
.
Thanks for your answer. I did check that before and read & write is permitted. It's very strange....about a month ago I had the same problem, but after some days it was solved by....??? and now it started all over again.
<<"read & write is permitted">>
permitted for whom? There are three distinct classes of setting there.
The top setting with the one-person icon is for the named file Owner (davey in my example, which is NOT ME)
the middle setting is for the named Group associated with the file. This may be a group of which you are a member, or may not be.
The bottom setting (everyone) is for all users.
what do they say, exactly?
Clean My Mac is complete garbage. It does nothing a Mac User needs to do. It works counter to the memory management in Mavericks and later, and slows down your Mac instead of speeding it up.
It has a history of throwing out parts of MacOS it decided were not needed, causing spectacular crashes, as well as many other not so spectacular problems.
You may need to re-Install MacOS after you delete CleanMyMac.
Good morning Brand,
I did read your advice and decided that perhaps there could be a more easy option besides installing a fresh OS.
I removed my present DXO and everything with it and after that I made a fresh install of it.
It seems that it lost the routing to the folders and now everything is working fine again.
Maybe it's time to replace the old Mac one of these years, but first have to do some saving money for that....
Thanks anyhow for your time and efforts to guide through the wonder world of Mac.
Have nice New Year and once again....thanks.
Hans
Thanks Grand,
what you have to know is that I granted all three categories permission and still the same problem.
Must be something wrong with my system....I guess.
Have you recently used Disk Utility "Repair Disk/First Aid" to make certain the directory is OK?
Is this an SSD drive?
No sir. But I did use Clean MyMac to restore a whole lot of slow acting bij de HD. And it's not a SDD, but the classic HDD.
Problem with destination folder.
