    Could not copy a file to the destination folder because it is not writable

    I have been scanning a lot of photographs and trying to use the shortcuts that exist in Lightroom when importing them.

    I probably used an incorrect shortcut incorrectly, which caused the error and I am having immense difficulty getting out of.

    I checked the permissions in the folder and they seem to be correct.

    I even asked Germini and ChatGPT but the answers were inconclusive, not allowing me to overcome the problem.

    I would not want to reinstall Lightroom in any way because it makes me waste a lot of time.
    Does anyone here have any interesting and useful suggestion for this purpose ?

    I would be very grateful.

    I don't use a Mac, so I don't understand the fine points of the Mac OS handling of files and can't help with that.

    However, with the subscription based Lightroom classic, uninstalling and reinstalling lightroom classic is trivial. See https://www.lightroomqueen.com/commu...classic.37335/. I would just make sure your catalog is backed up, or make a copy of it somewhere else.
