Require permissions set to Read and Write

Hello,

I have previously used a trial version of Unity 2.5.x without problems. After upgrading to the free 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 i am getting a dialog box saying "Setting permissions of project folder. Unity requires that the permissions of the project folder are set to read and write!"

I am running on a Mac, Snow Leopard. The disk where unity is installed is case sensitive and the projects are stored on an external disk, not case sensistive.

I have tried to change the permission, add the current user, installing and reinstalling unity. Removing preferences files for unity and an old trail version of Maya.

Please advise.

Check your editor log for the exact files that are causing the problem. For me, it happened when I copied some other files into the project directory, that included a symlink:

/Users/[UserName]/Library/Logs/Unity/Editor.log:

[...] verify_permissions --is-unity-project -- /Users / [UserName] / [ProjectName], running for mac Can't stat /Users/ [UserName] / [ProjectName] / [Some bad file] at /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/Tools/verify_permissions line 171. '' Couldn't change permissions

So moving that [Some bad file] out of the project folder fixed it.

This is the best solution provided on the thread. Deleting the configuration file is kind of like putting out a candle with a fire truck.

Thanks, this really explains what is going on with project's permissions.

Does that happen repeatedly? I'd assume so. I know this sometimes happens (or happened in the past) when you worked on scripts over the network via Visual Studio running in a VMWare. However, it's a long time ago that I've seen this happen (probably 2.1 or so). When this happened to me, I just had to type my admin-password and it was all fine (and it only happened again after a longer time).

So, if you can't get rid of this message, I think that would be worth a bug report.

Its obviously a bug, and its a shame but in the process of things,...bugs happen . I know the Unity Devs are working on it, too bad their vacation will be temporarily interrupted..lol.. so lets give them some time. And lets gather more ideas for our games in the process. Hell, it will be a good break for us in the end...right?

Something that worked for me was to disable the firewall on your mac >system pref>security>and turn off firewall.

I hope this helps for you and everyone else with this problem enjoy K
