Hi All,

Please share the Screenshot of the Securities tab from the Folder Properties using the File Explorer for the folder where you are facing this issue. Please select your user for the same.

Rikk,

No, it's not great. This would not help fixing the bug. I encourage everyone to read this thread :

Additional information : I'm accessing my NAS using UNC names. It is not mapped to a drive letter.

Should I add that my synchronization utility (SyncBack) writes data on a daily basis, using UNC names, to the NAS folders to which I'm trying to export from LR ? No problem. So the problem is with LR, not with our systems.

Same problem here with nuances...

I tried to export an image to a folder of my Synology NAS and I got the "not writable" error. However, I tried again with the "Export with previous" command and this time the export succeeded (as well as subsequent exports to the same NAS folder be they triggered with or without the "Export with previous" command).

Then I tried to export to another NAS folder and this time, I got the "not writable" error when selecting the folder, not when actually exporting. I repeated the test under control of Process Monitor and I observed that when trying to open the NAS folder specified in the "Choose folder" dialog, LR immediately tried to open C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\namespace\MYNAS (MYNAS being... my NAS). The CSC folder contains all the files that have been made available offline. However, this feature is disabled on my system. By default, the CSC folder can't be opened in File Explorer. You must take ownership to do that. I did this just to verify whether the MYNAS subfolder existed there. It didn't.

I could see that LR stubbornly tried and tried again to access this non existing offline NAS folder until it decided to issue the error message.

Well, obviously, something has been broken in 8.3 (not only that since I can no longer run LR unless as an administrator). No doubt that the development team has a source archiving tool allowing to easily compare the source code for 2 different versions. Finding what has been changed in this area shouldn't take that much time.

Yet another well tested release...

yep same here been exporting to a folder on my Windows 10 laptop's desktop for over a year now. And 8.3 has just killed that.  In fact it will not export at all.  "major fail!" Adobe needs to start testing their updates better before rolling them out to the masses.  

Just for the record. While this workaround works for Export, it doesn't for existing Publish Service.  And that impacts the workflow a lot. 

I'm sorry to hear that you have the same issue, Daniel. While Adobe is working on this there is an easy workaround: Instead of choosing  "Export to: Specific folder", choose "Export to: Choose folder later (useful for presets)" - regardless of whether you are creating a preset - and Lightroom will prompt you to choose a location after you click on Export. 

Mine is not and I have the problem.

Inquiry. catalog location, for those with the problem, is your catalog located in the default path:

C:\Users\[user name]\Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom Catalog.lrcat. ?

mine is not, I do not have the problem.

not Adobe staff.
