Hi, I've used Universal Importer for about a month now and I'm suddenly getting an error saying it doesn't have write access to my documents folder (or any other folder for that matter). The only place it would import from was the root of my C drive! I checked and all folders are marked as "Read Only", but all other programs work correctly.
I opened import.rb and commented out this:

# Source dir must be writable to host hard links we'll create later.
      #raise "Source dir of model to import is not writable; #{@source_dir}"\
       # unless File.writable?(@source_dir)

and I can now import from my documents folder again.

I found this in an article from Microsoft:

"The Read-only and System attributes is only used by Windows Explorer to determine whether the folder is a special folder, such as a system folder that has its view customized by Windows (for example, My Documents, Favorites, Fonts, Downloaded Program Files), or a folder that you customized by using the Customize tab of the folder's Properties dialog box. As a result, Windows Explorer does not allow you to view or change the Read-only or System attributes of folders."
