<ul><li><strong>Operating System</strong> deleted (<del><i>Windows 10</i></del>)</li></ul><p>Given the different OS concerned i remove the OS mention. <br />When it occurs, does it really prevent you to save the auxiliary storage data (hence you lose your work) or is it simply a message with no effects?</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #18477: QGIS 3 "unable to save auxiliary storage"https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18477?journal_id=896702018-05-12T19:50:36ZTommy Wahlundtommy.wahlund@appnaway.se
<ul></ul><p>Same issue. Qgis 3.0.2 (revision 307d082e3d). Windows 10. Could not isolate a reason to it either, since it only happens now and then.<br />The file got saved thought, so in my case the message was without effect.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #18477: QGIS 3 "unable to save auxiliary storage"https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18477?journal_id=899202018-05-31T01:09:42ZCalvin Thompsonthompson.calvin@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>I've experienced this issue on 2.18.16 and now 3.0.2. I often leave qgis running as I add new client properties for my lawn care company. If I forget to save this can be a nuisance since I'll have to reload all the shape files. <br />Just now it happened again in 3.02, however I ended task in task manager hoping an automatic backup would save me. When I reopened it was up to date. Don't know if it has no effect in 3.02 or not, but there definitely was a small panic thinking I was going to have to recreate my project file again.<br />Win 10</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #18477: QGIS 3 "unable to save auxiliary storage"https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18477?journal_id=907412018-07-07T01:05:36ZAdam Stewartajstewart426@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>Also encountered this on macOS 10.13.5 with QGIS 3.2.0. Unfortunately, I have no additional info on how to reproduce it. It affects both Save and Save As. Before I tried to save, I tried to quit and it asked me if I wanted to save my changes. After seeing the error message, it no longer complained when I tried to quit, so I assume this means it actually saved and the error message is a red herring.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #18477: QGIS 3 "unable to save auxiliary storage"https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18477?journal_id=907682018-07-09T13:43:46ZMadeline Chmielinskiineinski@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>Encountered this on macOS 10.12.6.

<p>Saving as .qgs worked.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #18477: QGIS 3 "unable to save auxiliary storage"https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18477?journal_id=909142018-07-18T17:02:46ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<ul></ul><p>Same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 with QGIS 3.2.1. Tried save, save as, tried saving to /tmp where I know write permissions would not be an issue all no good. Change the files type to .qgs and it all worked fine. Curious that the file I originally opened was a qgs file so not sure why it wanted to change to .qgz on plain save. I just tried to repeat my steps but it now saves just fine so I can't reliably reproduce this sorry.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #18477: QGIS 3 "unable to save auxiliary storage"https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18477?journal_id=917642018-08-16T11:10:47ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<ul></ul><p>I just testet with QGIS 3.2.3 under Windows 10. Saving as qgz still fails because of auxiliary storage.

Simple project (nevada_county_roads) and base data (Road_Centerlines) attached. Maybe a possible clue: it had been saving fine as qgz for quite a while, and after I added some rule-based symbology to Road_Centerlines, it started giving the same message. Changed from .qgz to .qgs and it saves fine. I have not tried to track it down any farther, since I need to move forward on this project with the valid .qgs workaround in place.

<p>Thanks Paul - I think that was really helpful. Just hit this with QGIS 3.4.1-Madeira on macOS 10.12.6, the error message was: "Unable to save auxiliary storage ('Cannot open /var/folders/2l/.../T/QGIS3-duDXtB/ProjectName.qgd for input')"</p>
<p>I first hit this issue with QGIS 3.2.x(1?) on OS X with a long-running open project, and lost a lot of work. Upgraded to 3.4.1-Madeira - and was really cautious with saving frequently. Was away from the computer for two-weeks, when I came back the computer was in a deep hibernate state with QGIS open. Tried to save and quit, received the error.</p>
<p>Is it possible that the root cause here is the underlying OS cleaning up temporary files out from under QGIS?</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #18477: QGIS 3 "unable to save auxiliary storage"https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18477?journal_id=969162018-12-05T16:45:53ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<ul></ul><p>I guess it saves to the temporary folder and then zips it up.</p>

<p>The folder isnt there, so does it fail to create it??</p>
<p>QGIS 3.4.4-1</p>
<p>It seems to be a difference using <strong>.qgs instead of qgz.</strong></p> QGIS Application - Bug report #18477: QGIS 3 "unable to save auxiliary storage"https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18477?journal_id=1013762019-03-06T17:10:21ZChris Fordcdf@cqm.co.uk
<ul></ul><p>Had the same problem using 3.4.4 on mac when save as uses .qgs.qgz (suggested) or .qgz (changed to) file type. The project is not saved.</p>
