Access denied on file write about intag HOT 3 CLOSED

All of these steps are performed within the (File > Right click > Properties > Security tab)

1. Edit > Add > Object name: "Users" (no quotes) > OK > Tick allow for "Full Control" > Apply > OK

2. Advanced > Owner > Change > "Users" (no quotes) > Tick 'Replace owner on subcontainers & objects' > Apply > OK

3. Advanced > Add > Select principal > "Users" (no quotes)" > Apply > OK > Full control > Add files & subdirectories > Allow > OK

Presto! Now, all files in said folder will have complete write & read access.

I came across this solution whilst trying to figure out how to display xmp-dc metadata (photo & video tags) within File explorer.

NOTE: If the file/folder already has tons of duplicate Principal entries (under Security > Advanced) - it will help to get a "fresh start" by pressing 'Disable inheritances' on each Principal, and then finally ticking 'Replace all child objects permissions with ...' > OK. (I forget, but I THINK you may need to re-grant yourself Full permissions real quick after replacing all child permissions)

I know you've probably moved on, but incase youre still looking for a solution, it is 100% a windows permissions problem. I can help you if you like, it's fairly straightforward.

Hey! Really appreciate your effort highlighting this. Yeah, that fixes the root of the problem. The issue, however, was created when I noticed that app crashed, instead of (at least) ignoring the problem.

I did not quite move on, but working on something else, so I just left issues unresolved, so that people can show interest in resolving specific problems within the app. If enough people bring the problem up, I'll spend more time resolving it.
