@mediapathic, please see if you reproduce this on mac. I can’t on windows.

I do get the second error, which is normal, since you don’t have the folder.

@Valery_Kondakoff We’re working on this right now, and I’ve reproduced your bug and we’re trying to track it down. I have a question: when you get the error message, is the file actually created nonetheless?

[Valery_Kondakoff]

@mediapathic I’m not around the computer right now, but I’m pretty sure the file was actually created.

@Valery_Kondakoff Got it. Ok, this seems to be a mac-specific bug, I can reproduce it on my system. We’re on it. Thanks!
