"Read-only" File System issue with AppImage : must use absolute path

• Aug 1, 2020 - 17:42

I have an issue with the 3.5rc AppImage on Fedora.
I guess it is related to the use of AppImage

I create ~/music/test.mscz

  • Run musescore ~/music/test.mscz Good
  • Run cd ~/music ; musescore test.mscz Fail to save
  • Run cd ~/music ; musescore ./test.mscz Fail to save

Error message:
Open Temp File
test.mscz.temp
failed: Read-only file system

In both failing cases, the score properties says /home/me/music/test.mscz
initially read from:
test.mscz

The workaround is to use an absolute path (or an alternative to AppImage)
(Since I did not find a reference to this "issue" I though it could be helpful to others to get the info.)

Hi,

Thank you very much for your info. I am having the same issue since I recently got a new Mac (BigSur). Sorry for my ignorance, but how do we use an absolute path?

Thank you in advance.

I don't think this thread could be relevant to your issue; AppImage is for Linux only. Also, I'm assuming you aren't trying to install an experimental build of 3.5. For the current version - 3.6.2 - everything should just work. Can you be more specify about exactly what is going wrong? You get some sort of error message when you try to do some specific thing? What are you doing, and what does the error message say, precisely?

can you be more specifi
