Luuk Steitner Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Does it happen with every file? Or are you trying to save to your CD-Drive or over an read only file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven547 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 How long is your filename you are saving? If it is long, make it shorter and remove any spaces. I was looking that exception error up on the internet and some say its a long filename error. Might be the cause. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stronghorn Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 what was the name? Does anyone know how long they can be? Mohammad I made the name rabbit1.prj and it did save the file, but it would always give me an error warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven547 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Quick question for you, and please don't take this the wrong way, but when you saved your filename, did you use the full file name: rabbit.prj or did you just save it as rabbit and it defaulted to the *.prj extension?

itsjustme Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I regularly save long file names with underscores instead of spaces...I have never hit a limit. This is on WinXP, but I know on older operating systems like Win98 it might be a problem. An example of a filename I've used would be "v13_Four_Finger_Squetch_Rig_06_15_2007_installation_Foot_Gizmo.mdl"...I've had similarly long filenames for Projects, but I don't remember them at the moment.

Sorry I gave the wrong file name, I left part out, I actually tried to save a file called (rabbitwalk1.prj--I typed it all in myself) and then got error and I am runnig on windows xp professional. I recently upgraded from v.12 to v.13 and I have not tried to make file name longer to see if that was an issue or not. So if length is not the issue I have no ideal why it would give an error.. I really enjoy this software and this forum is very helpful. I apppreciate the time anyone takes to answer a post or give advice. Thanks.

Or did this happen the first time you saved the Project under that name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven547 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Not sure if you're doing this, but let the program add the file extension for you. Make sure you're not typing in the "*.prj" extension (rabbit.prj) Just save it as rabbit . Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried to make a file the length of the box in save as.... and the file saved fine with no error mesages. Or possibly it was some path I was taking... anyway not an issue for me anymore..saves whether I let the program add file extention or I type it in myself...Thanks.
