File already exists (Saving)

Post by barium »

File already exists. Do you want to replace?
This issue is persistent for years with Voicemeeter, even when changing the file name or changing the directory.

Last two versions that I'm aware of. Yes, it reproduces. Menu > Save Settings > [filename] > ... I have to change 'save as type' to 'all' and remove [.]xml from the name and it saves fine, then add the extension manually.

This bothers me as well. I thought it was normal behavior. I was going to make a feature request for a quick save hotkey or a timed autosave.

menu->save settings->choose file->okay->are you sure?->yes

I don't understand what barium said - "change 'save as type' to 'all' and remove [.]xml from the name and it saves fine" - I don't do that, I just double-click the filename and say yes to the overwrite.

v3.0.14

that is not how saving is done. your method is completely irrelevant to the issue.
