You don't have permission to write to the folder...
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:51 amHi,
I've been troubleshooting this issue for a while and have now run out of ideas, so any help will be appreciated.
The basics are:
A rule matches in Hazel that moves a PDF file to a folder called OCR
A rule in Hazel for folder OCR matches and uses an embedded Applescript as listed here http://katiefloyd.me/blog/automatically-ocr-documents-with-hazel-and-pdfpen to open PDFPen pro 6 to do the OCR.
PDFPen Pro 6 opens and performs the OCR.
When it finishes and tries to save the file, the following message POPS up:
You don't have permission to write to the folder that the file "<filename listed here>" is in.
If I then manually cancel the prompt and try to save the file manually in the OCR folder, it also fails with The document "<filename here>" could not be saved. You don't have permission.
A Get Info on the OCR folder displays:
<myusername>(Me) - Read & Write
staff - Read only
everyone - Read only
And a Get Info on the file itself displays:
<myusername>(Me) - Read & Write
everyone - none
In the Hazel.log, amongst other, the following error is displayed:
"NSLocalizedDescription = "PDFPenPro 6 got an error: Applescript timed out.";
What I have done so far (none of which helped):
* Changed the permissions on the OCR folder and the file itself to allow Read & Write for everyone
* Completely removed PDFPen pro from the system and re-installed it.
* Exported the rules, removed the folders in Hazel, trashed the folders in Finder, recreated the folders again in Finder and then re-imported the rules in Hazel.
* Confirmed that <myusername> is the administrator in system Preferences
* Confirmed in Activity Monitor that PDFPenPro is run under <myusername>
* repaired permissions using Disk Utility
* repaired permissions using Onyx
* A review of the debug log doesn't reveal any glaring issues (although I have an untrained eye;)
Do you perhaps have any ideas what may be causing this?
thanks for your assistance,
Regards,
Jakes
