This error has started to come up recently, strangely the same error on two different machines started on the same day...

Saving...failed.

Could not open...for writing. Input/output error.

...= file path

Clicking OK and exporting again then works, but it means double the effort.

Many thanks
Anything like this report ? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/2940

What exactly is the file path ?
Thanks for the response...

Yes, that looks like the same issue. The file path is the user downloads folder in C drive.
not sure that is exactly the same thing. From that bug report
....as user you can't save on the root path, if you try to start gimp as administrator you can save file on root path
but C:\Users\"your-id"\Downloads should be accessible without a repeat export. A bit of a mystery.

Anything to do with MS / Google / Cloud storage. Something that needs to sync with your computer.
