Since upgrading I cannot save a new file. Save automatically changes to “save as” & the message “File not found. Check the file name and try again.” The happens regardless of the file extension, for both Writer & Spreadsheet files. How do I fix this?
Can you save anything at all? If not it is probably a recent change to operating system anti-ransomware settings
Mac You probably need to give LibreOffice full disk access from System Preferences > Security & Privacy. See this site on how to do it if you aren’t sure: Explained: What is Full Disk Access & Full Permissions on macOS Mojave
Windows
- If you don’t have 3rd party
anti-virus then Defender is probably
blocking. You need to allow disk
access to soffice.bin, see
Defender Controlled folder access exception for LibreOffice - The Document Foundation Wiki - If you have 3rd party anti-virus look in settings for anti-ransomeware, blocking or similar. In blocked apps allow soffice.bin, if it isn’t there then go to allow access and add soffice.bin
If it is something else you might want to explain what you can and can’t do when you try to save and give operating system details. Cheers, Al
