Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS on MacOs question
The case is the same in Mac, push the three dots on the right and go to your project folder. If this is not the case, check the project folder permissions (command I) and try again.

Richard, could it be that you only provide a name for the export? In the dialog it is intuitive to only type a name, but actually you need to browse to a directory first (using the little dots next to the input) and THEN add a name. Without the path QGIS tries to save it in 'current dir' which is probably the directory in which QGIS is installed...

[Qgis-user] QGIS on MacOs question
after a bit of a layoff and a MacOS upgrade or two, i'm back to using QGIS for a project. just upgraded to the current LTR, running on Big Sur. can anyone shed light on how to deal with the MacOS permission system? I can load up the shapefiles fine, pick out the features i need, but when i go to export that layer, it's complaining about a read only file system. i'm not at all clear on where to find & fix the settings. thanks, richard -- rwe...@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
