Hi,

I remember having this problem if I typed the shapefile name directly in the textbox, without clicking on the Browse button to select a location for the file.

Hope this helps,

Hi Ken,

Where are you storing the new layer? Maybe you are not selecting a folder where you can write the new shapefile (that's why you get the permission denied error). Can you confirm the location of the new shapefile?

Regards,

Jorge Gustavo

After years of using ARCGIS, I’m using the training manual to become acquainted with QGIS. I’ve downloaded 3.8, and worked through the first 100 pages with no problem. While some of the 3.8 dialog boxes don’t look like the training manual I’ve been able to see the required buttons, drop downs, etc. But on others, I’ve hit some deadends.

For example, on page 105 when it try to create a dynamic map canvas, in 5.2.1.5, when I go to the Item /Properties Panel/, there is no /Position and Size/ section showing.

Another example: On p. 114 in ‘Creating a New Vector Dataset’, when I try to save the dataset, I get an error message:

‘Layer creation failed: Failed to create file created_shapefile.shp: Permission denied.

In both examples, I’ve tried several times, following the instructions, only to get the same result.

So, questions:

Is 3.8 that different from 3.4?

Am I running into bugs in the software or the documentation? (It could be user error, but I’m painstakingly following the instructions.)

Should I scrap 3.8 and go with 3.4 instead?

TIA,

Ken McCall
