Vista and Directory Permissions // Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by frootee // Jan 15, 2009, 7:13am frootee Total Posts: 2667 For a plugin, I need to put a text file on the hard drive. A script node on the Workspace side writes to the file, and a plugin on the Model side reads from the file. For XP, it's not an issue; I can drop the file anywhere. But I don't know about Vista. Are there access restrictions on directories which prevent us from being able to put a text file in any directory? thanks Froo Post by nigec // Jan 15, 2009, 7:20am nigec Total Posts: 314 As long as its not in program files it should be ok my TS is installed at C:\trueSpace76 but I turned off UAC off a long time ago Post by TomG // Jan 15, 2009, 7:26am TomG Total Posts: 3397 Program files can be an issue, even root of C: I think can be an issue too. Other than that, though, you should be fine. I still have UAC turned on, with both my Vista machines. HTH! Tom Post by frootee // Jan 15, 2009, 8:39am frootee Total Posts: 2667 Ok thanks guys. This is just a text file that is used as an 'interface' between workspace and model, so to speak. I could get fancy and just send a message directly to the plugin on the model side but, maybe next time. :) Post by frootee // Jan 15, 2009, 8:58am frootee Total Posts: 2667 Can Vista users create any directory if they want, if necessary? Like, say, C:\LWfromWS ? that stands for: (Lightworks from Workspace) ?
