Windows Folder Permissions

[d.healey]

@DanH Yep I can confirm this issue. But it's not a HISE issue, it's a JUCE issue, and an old one - https://forum.juce.com/t/file-haswriteaccess-does-not-check-permissions/31340

[DanH]

@d-healey but it does work if you double click on the folder...

[d.healey]

@DanH Yes, but that's unrelated to JUCE.

[DanH]

@d-healey you think that's a Windows message?

[d.healey]

@DanH Show me a screenshot please so I know we're talking about the same thing.

[DanH]

@d-healey how does one screenshot windows?

[d.healey]

@DanH Press the Prnt Scrn button on your keyboard or use the Snipping Tool.

[DanH]

@d-healey had to take a photo in the end

[d.healey]

@DanH Yeah that's a Window's message from Explorer.

[DanH]

@d-healey ok, thanks!

[DanH]

@d-healey so I've ended up using a timer to check the download progress and if it stays on 0 for more than 10 seconds the app then displays an error message and advises the user to check permissions. Should be ok for now unless you can think of something better?!

[d.healey]

@DanH Seems like a good idea to include that anyway, even if the permissions thing was working.

unless you can think of something better?!

Nag the JUCE developers to fix it :)
