Try and be a little more exact about the save to location file:/// Is a little unhelpful You need to be saving to a location that the user has write privs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

- indeed : those steps were followed It seems probable that this is no fault of Tumbleweed, because Ksnapshot ceased to be saveable at openSuSE 11.4 thank you -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
