Photo Booth

Photo Booth still says "Can't Save Your Pictures," even after I carefully added my username with "read and write" permission to my username, in the files "Photo Booth Library" and "Photos Library.photoslibrary."


There are stills and videos along the bottom of the Photo Booth screen. If they are the problem, is there a way to purge them? (Or save and remove?)


Or is there some other system problem?

Using the tiny gear icon, use the drop down to "Apply to enclosed items...+

I have added "all administrators" to my identity and previous one. ("staff" and "everyone" are "read only.")


On the dropdown menu, "Revert Changes" is no longer grayed out but "Apply to Enclosed Items" still is, with the lock unlocked.

Photo Booth still sending that error message.


(I'm a little shy to post a screenshot showing my username, etc. Is there a secure way to do that?)
