Sublime 3 via WebDav is unable to save (Windows)

#1

Hello,

I have mounted some webspaces via webdav in windows as drives. They work fine with all other tools i.e. SpeedCommander, UltraEdit etc and most of the time in Sublime too. But sometimes Sublime has problems. The error message is always the same: “Unable to save …filename… Error: MoveFileEx(…temp-filename…, …filename…) failed. A device attached to the system is not funtioning.”

So it seems, that Sublime can’t rename the temp file. But I don’t know why, because the drive is still working in other tools.

btw: “Save as” and change the filename still works on the device, so it is definitely sill available.

Any ideas?

Thanx a lot!

Ciao

This sounds like it might be an issue with a known bug in atomic_save. You might consider turning off the atomic_save feature to see if it solves the problem…

Check out the forum and see if the atomic_save bug matches your problem:

Have a look at the issue in the “official” bug tracker:
