I checked whether the “dest” file is writable. I’m using this code to get a
handle on the save file:
dlg = new SaveAsDialog
dlg.promptText = "Enter a file name."
dlg.Filter=FileTypes.quicktime
//*********************************************************
// Since this is AV Foundation, Windows is no longer supported
// Perhaps later when this is working separate rendering methods
// can be added for Windows.
//*********************************************************
dlg.suggestedFileName = "video.mv4"
dlg.ActionButtonCaption = "Save"
dlg.CancelButtonCaption = "Cancel"
dlg.title = "Save Movie"
if m_Debug then m_Report "Opening save dialog."
m_AV_DestFile = dlg.ShowModalWithin(WorkWindow)
This works for the Quicktime version but fails here.
When I substituted your demo code it works:
dim file as FolderItem
file = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("test.m4v")
if file.Exists then file.Delete
So, “m_AV_DestFile” although not nil cannot be written too.
On the other hand “file” can be written to. Very strange.
I’m working with Mac OS Sierra and Xojo 2016 r4.1
