daft inquisitor Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 This just started today on my computer. While trying to save files, it would give me an "Unexpected error" or "I/O error" when trying to save an image. After closing out of the program and trying to open the image I was trying to edit, the image became corrupted. I was able to download the image again, and tried this three times to the same effect. I even tried opening a blank image and saving that, only to get the same error message. After googling, I found some old (about 3 years ago) posts with the same error messages, but they were from issues I wasn't dealing with (my image was 800 x 800, so the "large image" issues weren't the problem). I confirmed I was on the most updated version, 3.5.11. After googling around a bit more, I found the 4.0 Alpha and tried to install that to see if it would fix it. I still have the issue, but now I have a detail report on the error message. Could someone help me figure out what the problem is? Here's the full error message: System.IO.IOException: The mounted file system does not support extended attributes. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.FileStream.WriteCore(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count) at System.IO.FileStream.FlushWrite(Boolean calledFromFinalizer) at System.IO.FileStream.Flush(Boolean flushToDisk) at PaintDotNet.IO.GuardedStream.Flush() in D:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\Base\IO\GuardedStream.cs:line 273 at PaintDotNet.Controls.DocumentWorkspace.<>c__DisplayClass30.<DoSave>b__28() in D:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\PaintDotNet\Controls\DocumentWorkspace.cs:line 2939 at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Try(Action f) in D:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 171 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daft inquisitor Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) None of that helped. I know it's not a file system issue, because I've used Paint.net before on the computer, and was able to save just fine with it. I notice in a few of those lines, it's trying to access a directory on my D: drive. My D: drive is an optical media drive, empty. I'm trying to save the file to my desktop, so I don't understand why it would even be trying to do anything with D:.

But your comment above gave me an idea and I think I have found some workaround to this issue: 1. Create a Virtual disk on your hard drive (In windows 7: via computer management | Disk management) 2. Assign a mount folder path to the drive - name it with "D" 3. Open Paint.net and save your file to "D:\" That's it - you can now save any file in any format. You will still need to copy these files to other locations so I really hope they will find a real solution to this bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
