Unable to save...the system cannot find the path specified

When editing a script externally I get the following error:

This is a company computer and so that directory does not look like it exists but I am not sure is there a way around this?

You could try changing the location of your TEMP variable, or check the permissions on the directories leading up to that to see if anything is stopping your account from creating that file.

As I have now helped 4 of my colleagues fix this issue here is my fix:

  1. Make a directory (temp) in C:/temp

  2. Change the temp and tmp environment variable to point to that directory

Restart TouchDesigner

Are you able to post (or email me) what the full real path of that error would be? WILLY~1_NOL seems like a path that tried to get shortened to 8.3 format but failed.

Sorry I do not use that computer any more. I have made a note to dig out that old laptop and will let you know if I ever get it fired up again.
