If you turn off compression, you will be able to save the file.

Also, I have pulled down the first 9 patches to 5.2 and can verify that on my Ubuntu box the file save to a compressed file does work.

Really? Please tell me how I can recover over 2 hours of work on GnuCash ver 
5.2? I mean, is there any way I can recover my changes/input which I will lose 
if I now go back to ver 5.1? I am in limbo at present.

The bug has been reported.  Gnucash can't save to a compressed file, the fix is 
due any day now.  However, 5.1 work fine if you want to upgrade now.


Thank You,

Subject: [GNC] Upgraded to v5.2- now can't save

I just upgraded to v5.2 and I can no longer save changes. I get this error:

Could not write to file /Users/if/Documents/GnuCash folder/ 
gnucash_transactions.gnucash.20181105195638.gnucash.
20211205203910.gnucash. Check that you have permission to write to this file 
and that there is sufficient space to create it.

I have gone back to v4.13.

Today updated to version 5.2 but now unable to save any changes to my entry
stating that I do not have any permissions to do so.  Have tried changing
location to another folder on the C:\ drive and also an external drive but
does not work.



I do have full permissions and have since saved non-GNUcash files to these
locations.

Sort of general advice for any help list (not specific to gnucash)

Whenever you have a problem, before posting your request for help, LOOK
at recent entries to the list, say the last week or so. You want to see
if there have been a number of people reporting the same problem that
you have and are receiving answers about it. If so, these is no need to
add your plea for help to all the others. Not particularly helpful.

Yes, there is a problem with 5.2

Yes there are suggestion about what to do

Thank you, Michael. You said what I was thinking, but phrased it better.
