[scribus] Re Document saved to a temporary file error in 1.4.6

[Lisa Charles]

Hi.



Over the last week or so have been getting the following error when I save a
document I'm working on in Scribus 1.4.6



'Your document was saved to temporary file and could not be moved:
\\filelocation\scribusfilename.sla.fourdigitnumber (such as 8512)



This does not happen every time I click the 'save' icon in the tool bar (I
click save each time I finish a page in the magazine), but it happens
multiple times in a 1 hour period. Each time it happens I then have to do
'save as' and re save the file to a different location. In the original
location what is left is just the original temporary file and another which
has a four digit number at the end of the file name after .sla - I then
just delete these two files.



Any insight on why this is happening?



Kind regards



Lisa

Dear Lisa,

document I'm working on in Scribus 1.4.6
\\filelocation\scribusfilename.sla.fourdigitnumber (such as 8512)

This kind of thing is usually due to file locking on the OS level. You
appear to be saving to a fileserver, so there are many factors
involved.

I am not personally familiar with the "save file" implementation of
Scribus, but the error message suggests that the file server refused
to rename the temporary file into the original name. This is usually
caused by a different process (possibly on another PC) having the same
file open. I have seen similar errors being caused by backup tools and
file server malware scanners. It's hard to be more specific without
knowing more of your setup, but then again this kind of thing is hard
to figure out remotely. Maybe someone else has other thoughts that are
more helpful...

A workaround would be to store the document on your own computer and
copy it to the share every once in a while.

With kind regards,

Bert
