"Failed to save updated preset"

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 11

Substance 3D Painter, version 8.2.0
Build 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,

      Hi Cyril,

      Same here with Intel Mac. It's not allow drag & drop and save setting, only duplicate and rename works 😞

      Thanks.
