[GNC] Error While Saving in GnuCash 3.5 on Win7-64

[Greg Feneis]

Hi,

I just upgraded to 3.5 from 2.6.21.

I've been using 2.6.x for a few years, and never had trouble saving to this
directory, but after upgrading to 3.5, I tried to save and it gives me an
error message.

"You attempted to save in "can't be displayed" or a subdirectory thereof.
This is not allowed as GnuCash reserves that director for internal use.

Please try again in a different directory."  (close)


Here's a link to a screen shot of the error message:

Note that where I wrote "can't be displayed" is actually a strange graphic
like when an emoji can't be displayed.  See the screen shot.

It appears when the error message was generated, the file path couldn't be
parsed.  This makes me think GnuCash isn't capable of parsing the save to
path.  I suspect it's a path length issue.  I tried shorter paths and it
worked.  FSR, the new GnuCash seem like it can't save to the same length
path that the old series was capable of.

Sorry if this is already a known issue

Kind regards,
