Hi Bill and WeatherCat fans,
Thanks, the data transfer looked very good until the last second when I got this message: "File import error: ?10_LWC_Data.lw2? couldn?t be moved because you don?t have permission to access ?2009?. with file: /Users/bill/Library/WeatherCatData/Location1/2009/10_LWC_Data.lw2. The import failed - the data was not imported. WeatherCat will quit." The it freezes and I have to do a force quit. Not sure why I don't have permission to access one single file within hundreds of files of LWC data, one month of one years data. Computer oddity no doubt.
You might have a genuine UNIX file permission error that was caused by moving files around from one drive to another.
You can try the fixing permissions again using the Disk Tools utility.
However, you might have to make a manual repair in this case. If you use the
"Get Info" option on the Finder, you'll get a window like this:
When everything is correct, you should that the owner of the file is your user name (in my case
elagache.) When you copy things from one drive to another they can get messed up and become things like
root,
admin,
wheel, and other "super-users."
You'll need to manually change the ownership of the files to "you" which you can do from that
Get Info window.
That should allow WeatherCat to then import the files.
Hope this helps, if this is a little confusing by all means ask for elaboration.
Cheers, Edouard
