java.io.IOException: Access is denied
Posted: 1 Aug 22, 00:24 		 
Whenever I try to do any activity that needs to write to disk I get a Java IO error.
I have tried anything I could think of to solve this. Fully uninstalled jAlbum en re-installed (latest version), multiple times. No clue what to do now. Who can help?

If you're on a Windows platform, try setting jAlbum to "Run as administrator."

Tried it, but it gave the same results.

Correct
Hmmm... Beyond the obvious, like making sure the specified output location actually exists (a drive letter might have changed, for example), not sure what to tell you.

I did have one Windows update that reset the permissions on one of my primary directories (the Pictures directory, in this case), and had removed "write" permission for most accounts. So, you might want to do a deep dive into the permission settings for the output location.

Another quick test is to create a little test project on your C: drive (like in Documents\My Albums), with the output in the default album subdirectory. In short, try the simplest case.

Ah, that helps! Changed the destination to a different drive and can now create a new project.
Also found that somehow the My Albums folder was set to read only. Changed that in the properties, but that did not immediately help. At least it's clear it is permission related. Thx!

Good! Yes, the symptoms are pretty clear, so it's time to plunge into File Explorer > Properties > Security. Always a lot of fun. ;)
