    Cannot write to specified directory


    Using Photoshop Elements I have always uploaded pictures to c:users-name-pictures. However, the last time I set this location in the photo downloader I got the message "cannot write to specified directory"Whilst I have full ownership of this folder I notice the attributes continually revert to read only.I have scoured the web for a solution with no luck. Anyone able to helpI am using W11 on an Acer Predator laptop.

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
