How to correct Gimp save error to file in Dropbox? folder

[Christophe.Maso@gmail.com]

Using Gimp 3.2, I'm able to create a new .xcf file in a Dropbox folder. However, if I make a change to the file and try to save it, I get this error message:

Quote:Saving 'D:\Dropbox\...\TestTest.xcf' failed:
Error writing 'D:\Dropbox\...\TestTest.xcf': Error renaming temporary file: Permission denied

As a workaround, I can save the file in that Dropbox folder under a new name (such as TestTest_2.xcf), but that gets cumbersome very quickly.
This error does not happen if I create the file in a non-Dropbox folder. In that case, I can make a change to the file and it saves just fine, so the problem seems to be with the interaction between Gimp and Dropbox.
I set the folder and file permissions in Windows 11 Explorer, but that had no effect. I get the same error message.
