Styles won't save? YES THEY DO!
-
Are you going to User/Library/Application Support...?
-
Yes, that is the route as shown when I try via right click- save as

I think this is the case where you need to drag the icon view version to the second pane. Other methods do not work on the Mac (Still?). I thought we solved this somewhere on the forum before. (Shows how much I manage styles these days.).
I just tried it. I have a folder called "My Styles" that I created by the prescribed method, show it in the lower pane and dragged a style icon from the upper pane to the lower. And it works.
Instead of saving to */Styles, you need to create a new collection and save it there. or did you try that? Sorry--juggling emails and first cup.

Tried that, I'm still having no success.
I'll try restarting and recheck what I'm doing and digging a little further.
Thanks for your help in this case, it's the first time we have conversed, but I have appreciated your sound advice over the years as I have followed other Forum threads.
I'll let you know how I get on. -
I'm using 2019 by the way, so your results may vary. Have you also looked under Preferences ? Files to see where your styles folder is designated?

I've once run into something similar - not being able to save files .styles
I use Sketchup For MAC and what I have found out was a sort of bug-ish:-
I normally use the LIST VIEW for my style window. That was the problem. I dont know why, but SU won't save any style if the window is with LIST VIEW...
-
I just switched to LARGE ICON view and it worked.
How knows?... It might work for you as well.

Hi Bruno, welcome to SketchUcation.
FWIW, this behavior has been like this for more than a decade.
-
Yeah, this is how it works in Mac anyway.
-
Same on the PC.

I had this problem for ages. You nailed it! Thanks! It is working perfectly.
