[GNC] cannot write back to Windows share

[Louise]

I think this might be "programmers" question rather than a GnuCash question.

I have an existing Windows 10 system, but I am trialing Linux mint 22.3 
in a VMWare virtual machine. I am looking at droppingW10 when I'm happy 
with Linux. So far so good but I have an issue with GnuCash.

My data is still on the Windows drive. I have set up an auto mount for 
launch. I can access the data on the windows share, but GnuCash wont let 
me save changes back to the windows share.

This is the message:

I set permissions to 777, But when I look at the accounts file, I have 
read/write, my group only has read-only.

What should the permissions be, and what would be the best way to set 
them properly.

Thanks,

Louise
