Sublime Text "Unable to save"

Question

I didnt change any file paths and everything was working fine. I made one quick change saved it ok, did another change and I went to save it and got the following error. How can I solve this. It will save other files ok

Unable to save D:\xampp\htdocs\websites\dev.liverpool\style\main.scss Error: MoveFileEx(D:\xampp\htdocs\websites\dev.liverpool\style\.sublae1.tmp, D:\xampp\htdocs\websites\dev.liverpoolzstylezmain.scss) failed,  Access is denied. 

Answer 1

seems it's because Windows or another program is blocking the file. Sublime text uses a temporal file instead of editing the file directly, and when you save the file uses a API command to move this edited file to the original, so this command has restrictions when one file is locked and Sublime shows this alert.

Maybe this setting {"atomic_save": false} will work for you.

Answer 2

Go to the path where you installed sublime text 2 and...

1. Right click on the sublime_text 2.exe file.
2. Go to its properties.
3. Go to compatibility section under this.
4. Set its privilege level to "Run this program as an administrator".
5. Now change settings for all users and there also check the field "Run this program as an administrator".
6. Apply the changes.
