A question about saving files....

[conrailfan1999]

Hello, I have recently created a few routes and will be releasing them soon! I have used various pofig trees on the routes and he was extremly kind to let me make a pack of the trees that are in each route. But I ran into a problem when trying to make the packs! For some of his trees when I right click on them in Content manager to save them as a CDP it won't let me! Is there any other way to save these files from content manager so I can put them into a dependencies pack?

Why are you running Trainz at the same time as Content Manager? You shouldn't do that if you are trying to manage content because the files are in use whilst Trainz is in operation. This causes files to have a lock on them and that prevents files from being copied, moved, or deleted.

Close Trainz and try your operation again.

Well thatnks for the advice but I had only content manager open and the problem was not fixed!

Are you running Content Manager as an Administrator? Have you tested this problem to see if it is the same with any other assets from other creators?

Not true, I am running trainz and cmp right now, I can rename, delete, clone, install, etc.

Yes I have this problem with content from other creators too!

Is the content open for edit? Content that is opened for edit cannot be saved to a CDP without committing/reverting it first.

I have never opened the content for edit so I don't think this is the problem. Thanks for the advice though!

Another thing to check is if there is a circle with a line through in the local/download station icon (and also make sure it is indeed an icon of a laptop, not a DS icon).
