GCS: an error occured trying to save the file
Hey everyone! Thanks for reading this thread!
So I had some races lying around that I wanted to rename, should be simple, right? but somehow, when I change the name of the race in GCS, I get an error message when I try to save. It specificly says, word for word: "An error occurred while trying to save the file." and I have absolutely no idea why this happens. I am not doing anything differently compared to before when it *could* save it. I *am* thinking however, that since they were originally created with an older GCS, that the new one can't figure out how to save them properly? or maybe it's something different entirely? That's why I hope one of you guys can help me out a itty-bit! It would be much appreciated!

Looks like GCS (GURPS Character Sheet) has changed file formats.

Hey-o prosper-o!
I think you are absolutely right about it, I took out an old version of the Gurps GCS and it could update the race without any problems. I guess I have to download the v4.20 or v4.22.1 so I can update those files! Hopefully this will work. Thanks a ton bud! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Re: GCS: an error occured trying to save the file
Heyo!
I have been trying to use an older Gurps Character Creator (4.20 GCS) to update my races. However, when I have loaded them into the creator and bring them into the new one, it still can't read my race files. Any suggestion? I put them into the User Library. Anything else I need to do, for it to update the files that are my races? Any help is appreciated friends! Don't be afraid to ask for more information, I will do my best to provide it!

Did you ever figure out what the problem was? If not, I'm happy to help.

What I've tried so far, is to download the older version of the character creator and then open the characters in that program. It didn't seem to affect the files at all however. So I think it's how I get them updated when opening them in the older version of the program, that is my problem? but I am not sure. Again, thanks a ton of reaching out!
