Backup sprite file error [Solved???]

[ShiverMeSideways]

Hello!

I seem to be getting an error when saving after I've added a sprite to the game!

Code: ags

Error: Unable to create the backup sprite file. Make sure the backup sprite file is not read-only
Version: AGS 3.2.1.111

The sprite I add is a 36x36 24-bit BMP file (the game is 16-bit) with No transparency. After I try to save and the error appears, the sprite then turns dark in the Sprites screen/tab.

I deleted the sprite and then saved (still got the error) and then closed and re-started AGS. I then saved and it was ok. But when I added the sprite and saved it gave the same error.

I tried copying and renaming the main sprite file to "backup_acsprite.spr" and the editor started and I could save, but when I add the sprite and try saving again, it gave the same error.

Could someone please help me out with this? Thanks!

EDIT: Ok, I rebooted and now there's no more error, and I'm adding sprites with no problem. What just happened?

I guess it was caused by a rogue file lock, rebooting would fix that. Let's hope it doesn't happen again.
