[oXygen-user] scenario shows "access is denied" error; new scenario fixes it; why?

[Robert Nagle]

I am sure that the application has write permissions for that
directory. (Because as I said, most of the time, it is able to work
just fine).

Maybe there is a lock on a file by Oxygen or Windows Explorer.

I:\My Documents\xml\rj3\output\OEBPS it's in user space.


Does the folder output/OEBPS exist or must be created by the

I am not 100% sure, but I think I created the OEBPS folder originally.
Update: I just tested again without the OEBPS folder existing, and it
created it again.


 If it exists what are the write permissions for that

permissions for the OEBPS folder for Authenticated Users are
modify/read/execute/list folder contents/read/write

 Does the current Windows user have write permission for that folder?

As I said, I feel pretty sure that there is something about Oxygen
that causes this to happen (because if I create the same
transformation from scratch, I can usually get past the Access
problem).

I have stopped and restarted Oxygen when this state occurs. I have NOT
found that starting the program will solve the problem. The only
solution is creating a new but identical transformation.

For example, I just now created a new project consisting of the same
assets. the first time i ran the epub transform for docbook, things
went fine. The second time (15 seconds later, without any changes!), I
ran it again, with the same error message.  It's an intermittent error
and I can't find a situation that always reproduces it. But once it
happens, the only way to resolve it is to create a new transformation.

I created a new transform with the same exact stylesheet, and things
worked fine.

The only slightly weird thing about my project is that I'm having to
re-generate a xsl file from a docbook template (outside of the
project). But that shouldn't have an effect on what's happening.

Another thing. When comparing the xpr files from the original project
with the one I just created with the same files, I notice that the
first xpr file contains a lot of info about transforms, whereas the
second xpr does NOT contain any references to transforms. But the
error message has occurred for both projects.

I know this problem must have you scratching your heads....

One of my reasons for mentioning it here is to help any Oxygen user
with the same problem.
