Cannot Export or Save As Project

Post by NSRWebMonkey » Mon Jun 14, 2021 10:24 am

Hi, I've been working with Audacity to edit podcasts for several years now, and just upgraded to 3.0.2. While working on the most recent one, I finished the edit, and tried to export. When the progress bar was a third of the way through, the export failed with the error message, "Audacity failed to read a file on drive F:." When I tried to save the project as a different file name, I got this error message:
AudacityErrorLog.png
AudacityErrorLog.png (22.59 KiB) Viewed 59 times
My questions are:

1. What's gone wrong?
2. Is this recoverable or am I utterly screwed?

The project file opens and plays back in Audacity without issue, as far as I can tell without sitting through all 62 minutes of it.

Try saving to your "Documents" folder. Does that work?
