"Failed to save updated preset"

Question

Hello,I tried to save an export preset and got this message :  [Library agent] Failed to save updated preset 'Blender (Principled BSDF)': The default library 'starter_assets' is only available in read mode because you don't have write permission on it. I tried starting Painter in admin mode, that didn't help. I understand what the message says, but really don't understand how it's possible that I don't have "write permission" on my own computer... Any idea ? I'm on Windows 11Substance 3D Painter, version 8.2.0Build 1987 - 772e8c568b0b05753504c17acf6c5f950b1c5093  Thanks a lot,have a great holiday

Hi @MaxDet, hi @Shu Wei,

Thanks for the question.

The Blender (Principled BSDF) is a preset from the Starter assets library, meaning it is native to Substance 3D Painter. Those aren't directly editable or removable.

In order to make some changes on a native export preset, you'll have first to duplicate it (RMB>Duplicate). This way, you'll be able to edit the preset and save the changes.

Best regards,
