Try again on saving Styles...
-
managed to get the error message finally:
..i'll go back through the thread and see if i can connect the dots which leads to a solution.
might have to do some blizzard prepping first though
-
the first thing i notice (and this appears to be buggy sketchup and not user error)..
the 'unable to save' error is only happening to me when viewing the styles dialog in List View.. if i'm viewing Small or Large Thumbnails, everything works as expected.
so peter, do you have your styles dialog set to list view by any chance?
and at anybody else- can you repeat the behavior i've loosely outlined above? (loosely because i haven't really figured out the ins&outs of it yet.. saving from list view does appear to work at certain times.. maybe after a successful save has been made in thumbnail views?)

I get the message in ListView but can save normally...
edit: I can drag'n'drop in ListView as long as it's a subfolder below...

All this time that was it??? Yes, I always use list view. What use are those icons? I guess they are useful if you want to SAVE a file! Don't know whether to cry or laugh.
Thank you everyone for your patience and taking the time, including DaveR who saved some style files for me in the past. I didn't know this setting mattered obviously. It sort of struck me that all the examples people posted used the icon setting.... Maybe this happens only for certain OSX users.
And YES going back to list view in the same session, save works now. But close SU and try with list view does NOT work again.

they make saving styles possible... [with hindsight.lol]
glad you got it sorted, and Jeff's got a bug to submit, so all's good...
I posted my Add_Icon plugin on another thread today, if you want visual reference for any SU files...

Thank you, John. I've been meaning to check that out.

glad its working (sort of) now for you. this behavior should probably be brought to the developers attention so they can either make it work with all views or at least document it in the user's manuals.
I'll send them something when I get more time to make a clear description.
add-
what's sort of weird is that I do generally use the list view when going through my folders looking for particular styles.. it's just that I've never been in the wrong setting/wrong time while saving a style to notice this before.. so I guess it's just been luck for me this whole time.

Awesome.
I found this thread looking for an answer to the same problem <Couldn't save styles out for re-use>
List view was the problem, Icon view "fixed" it.
I haven't experimented with saving and re-opening.Mac OS Mavericks.
