This problem has come up occasionally with MacOS users of my plugin - they enable logging and the log file cannot be written to or they go to convert a BUM map to a JPG image and it cannot be written. Seems that if the file exists, there may be a problem writing it.

Now in the case of the JPG image write, I use the standard:

bdata.SetLong(JPGSAVER_QUALITY, 100);  
if (normalMap->Save(bumFile, FILTER_JPG, &bdata;, 0) != IMAGE_OK)  
...

The only time this fails is on MacOS and if the file referenced by Filename 'bumFile' already exists.

This could be a MacOS permissions problem, but I'd like some official reason for these problems and a way to resolve them, please.

Thank you very much,

Further information: the error is coming up as IMAGE_DISKERROR - hmmm.

It seems the BaseBitmap::Save() function doesn't allow to overwrite files on some platforms. I guess you could use GeFExist() to detect this situation? Would you be allowed to delete the file with GeFKill()? (Of course, some scheme using a temporary and GeFCopyFile(overwrite=TRUE) would probably be safer.)

Okay. Will have to ask the user first before deleting or overwriting just in case.

Thank you very much and congrats on making my life miserable (R10)!

Take care,
