Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
I can do a regular file/save of my home from within SH3D, but can't do a file/save-as nor able to save a 3D rendering from the save button. The button does nothing. Obviously it's not folder permissions if I can do a regular save there and copy files there.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
I just created a 12'x12' room with walls and attempted to save it. Nothing happened. When I exit SH3D it asks, do you want to save home? I click save the dialog box goes away. I then go to exit SH3D and it keeps asking me to save it or changes will be lost. The only way I can exit is to click on cancel or do not save and then exit. Yet on my large home model I can open it and it does at least let me "save" changes but not do a save-as so I can give it a new name without overwriting the old one. Strange... I don't know if there is something within my Windows 11 Pro installation blocking SH3D features but this is the only program to have any sort of problem. Here is a list of all installed programs on my PC:

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
As a temporary solution you can copy the sh3d file and rename the copy to the new name you want. If windows complains about that you know it's something with windows and not Sweet Home 3D. Maybe file creation rights in windows.
ETA: oeps, missed that is not save-as for the project but for renderings. Ignore my post.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
Keet, this solution won't fix Steve's problem to save photos. It looks like Sweet Home 3D is just unable to display a file dialog box in Steve's case.
Steve, could you check if there's some error log that could explain your issue? Please open a cmd window and run Sweet Home 3D redirecting errors to a file with a command like:
"C:\Program Files\Sweet Home 3D\SweetHome3D.exe" 2>Desktop\log.txt
Then choose File > Save as menu item in Sweet Home 3D and quit. If the file log.txt contains something, please post it here.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
If we are lucky then there will be some java stacktrace written to stderr. You may apply the following steps to help us identify the problem:
1) Download this plugin and place it under "C:\Users\your_username\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D\plugins".
2) Start SH3D and reproduce the problem, then close SH3D (press cancel if required).
3) Open the file "C:\Users\your_username\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D\log.txt", copy the content and post it here (please use the Code button to format the text).
P.S. for Emmanuel: sorry, we have written at the same time.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
I just realized the text export I did was not the main software list. It must be dependent sub-programs and other stuff. Here is a list that I just hand typed because you can't copy/paste from the Settings screens:

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
Thanks for this list but it won’t help me to solve your issue (yet). Please try to get the error logs as explained in my previous post.

Re: Sweet Home 3D 7.2
I installed the plugin but I can't find the log.txt file that would have been created today. I searched my entire computer.
Just to note the SH3D program on my PC is installed at: "D:\Program Files (x86)\Sweet Home 3D"
All my saved data (house plans folder) files, renders, plugins etc. are located at these locations: "C:\Users\snmav\Pictures\House Plans" "C:\Users\snmav\Pictures\House Plans\Custom" "C:\Users\snmav\Pictures\House Plans\Models" "C:\Users\snmav\Pictures\House Plans\OldSH3D" "C:\Users\snmav\Pictures\House Plans\Plug-ins" "C:\Users\snmav\Pictures\House Plans\Renders" "C:\Users\snmav\Pictures\House Plans\SH3D Models" "C:\Users\snmav\Pictures\House Plans\SH3D Textures"
By default, homes and renders are saved (save-as when it's working) in the House Plans folder. Late I move them into other folders for organization.
Do you think I should move these folders under my main Documents library folder? It started as images in the "house plans" folder for my home remodeling related projects before I ever heard of Sweet Home 3D and just kept using it after installing SH3D.
