I'm not sure if I'm going stupid but for some reason I can not create a folder in an existing folder in Finder to save an Apple Mail attachment?
Usually I would click the attachment in Apple Mail and then save the drop down box that appears with Finder, I navigate through Documents to where I want the attachment and for some reason I can not create a new folder. I get the message that this location is read only even though the permissions in Get Info state clearly Read/Write for all folders involved in the pathway.
If I go directly to Finder (rather than through Mail) I can easily create a folder wherever I want, but this makes it far more convoluted overtime I want to save an attachment.
I'm sure it was ok before 10.1.2 update which I only did yesterday.
Anybody else experiencing this or am I suddenly having a severe senior moment and missing something obvious or dreaming that I could do this before 10.1.2? :roll eyes:
Edited to Add - sorted, there was a permissions change by 10.1.2 on the "documents" folder itself whereby I had full read write permission but "everybody" only had read permission. I changed Everybody to read write and its all woking now. I'll leave this here in case anybody else experiences the same problem.
