Cannot store license.xml when user home is on different disk

[roelvandersteen]

Hi

I just installed <oXygen/> version 8 on my PowerBook running Mac OS X. Since then, <oXygen/> refuses to save my license.xml file (and other preferences). Instead, it says:

Code: Select all

Cannot save the file. Cannot save license file. Cannot rename license.xml.tmp to /Volumes/home-roel/Library/Preferences/com.oxygenxml/license.xml

I found out that this is because my global "Applications" folder and my "~/Library/Preferences" folder are on different disks: <oXygen/> starts OK when I move the "oxygen" folder to "~/Applications" (the user's application folder).

However, I had exactly the same setup with version 7, and that ran OK. So, I assume this is a bug — <oXygen/> 8 creates a temporary file in its own home folder first, and then try to rename it in order to move it into its preferences folder. Unix "rename" does not allow "from" and "to" to be on different file systems.

Is there a way to fix this?

Dear Allen Cronce,

Thank you for reporting this error.

We fixed the error of saving a file in a folder where there are no write permissions. Also we updated all the install kits from the oXygen website. You can download a corrected version of oXygen 8.0 from:

http://www.oxygenxml.com/download.html.

Thanks again for the help,

Radu
