Folder does not exist message when exporting response

[alexanderzatko]

When trying to export response (File -> Export Response...) the application shows a message:

Unable to save response
The folder doesn’t exist.

However, I am trying to save into the Downloads folder which by all means does exist

I'm not seeing that happen in my rather superficial testing. What version of macOS are you using? Is there anything special about your Downloads folder (aliased or anything like that)? Does Export Requests fail in a similar way? Thanks!

[alexanderzatko]

Saving requests works just fine and there is nothing special about the folders I tried to save the response into.

Using app version 1.3.17 (22)
OSX 10.11.6 (Al Capitan)
I have over 11 GB free on HD

The "View response in ..." commands also work

[mmattozzi]

Oh my... that's an interesting bug but it's also on a pretty far back version. I'm guessing you're still on El Capitan for other personal reasons. At best, I might be able to test that version on High Sierra.

Hi, I upgraded my OS to 10.14 and still see the problem.

maybe this log snippet will help:

Interesting, thanks for all that. By the way, when you say that the app shows that error message, is that before or after the file browser is opened and you've clicked save? It definitely seems like some sort of issue with a shared folder. Or maybe some issue in rendering the file browser dialog? Very odd.

sorry to respond with delay. I see the message after picking the folder in the standard Open/Save dialog window and clicking the Save button. I tried with different folders, including Documents.
