Help! Godot 3.4.2 stable win - new installation wont import assets in win 11

jbskaggs

I have installed an ran godot for over a year on several machines win and linux, but today Wife tried to start tutorial on brandnew laptop win ver 11, downloaded Godot 3.4.2 installed it, ran as admin and as regular user. Will allow me to create folders, projects, add nodes- but it will not import assets. I have deleted and reinstalled twice and still unable to import any assets. Not via drag and drop or copying them directly into project folder either way Godot is not importing.

Please help.

it seems the folders godot creates are created read only. I changed permission on game project data folder and could import. So now I am now trying to figure out how to change that- vs having to manually set permissions on every game made.

That's strange. Are the files on an external drive? Maybe the permissions were set wrong.

jbskaggs

no same drive. The permissions are being set as read only for project folder upon project creation by Godot on this new win 11 sys. When I manually change permissions on project folder I can import. So I need to see how get godot not to set the folder to read only during create.

Never had that issue. I have a few Win 11 machines.

neither have I. I havent seen any posts about it via google search either. Im debating trying the 3.5 beta and seeing if does same thing.

You shouldn't have to run as admin. If you needed to do that, something else must have been wrong.

You have to save folders in the documents folder.

They all were in the documents folder.

It was the app_userdata folder/ project data folder I was having the problems with permissions.

Now all the projects I create can import assets on this new system. So I dont know why it did that, No I did not have to run in admin, I just ran in both admin and regular trying to fix it. So running godot 3.4.2 normally on win 11 works fine now.
