Cannot save templates in Unity 5[SOLVED]

[Stryck]

Hi folks,
  I haven't seen a good solution anywhere, but for some reason I cannot save any FSM templates anywhere in my unity project.  I always get the following error "Templates can only be saved in the Project's Assets folder".

I am attempting to save them in /projectroot/assets/...
I have tried many different locations but always get the same error.  Not being able to use templates is causing us to have to duplicate many FSM's and is becoming unmaintainable.

Thanks!

Have you tried saving them in Assets/Playmaker/Templates ?

Hi,

 it's possible also that a parent folder of your project is called "assets" or contains the word "Assets", and this is going to fix on the up coming release of PlayMaker.

 Bye,

Hi guys,
  Thanks for the replies.  We used to have an Assets folder inside of the standard assets folder, however I renamed that to "Content" instead. 

The full path to my directory is:
E:\work\Fighter\trunk\

As suggested, I tried a template to:
E:\work\Fighter\trunk\assets\playmaker\Templates

But get the same error.

Is there an ETA on the fixed version?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm unable to reproduce the problem here...

Are you sure you're selecting a directory inside your project? Check the full path in the save dialog. In the current version the save dialog sometimes does not default to the project directory, so it's easy to select a destination outside of the project.

If you still can't save, please post the Unity and PlayMaker versions you're using?  Thanks!

I am also having this issue.  I'm on Unity V5.2.1f1 and playmaker V1.7.8.3p2

Can you confirm that you're definitely trying to save a template inside the project's asset folder? Please double check the path in the save dialog.

My file path is:  C:\Users\rjdrag\Desktop\Unity Projects\Practice\assets
It seems correct, and I can't save out a new template.

I did find a work-around:

1. Copy/Paste in a template file from another project
2. Duplicate and edit to make new templates

I checked the path several times, it all looks correct.  Still having the same problem  .

E:\work\Fighter\trunk\assets\playmaker\Templates

+1 had the same problem. I had the problem after inputting more than 32char as template name. I restarted unity5.2 and problem is gone.. for now..

Hey folks,
  Fixed the problem.  Playmaker is expecting "Assets" as a case-sensitive folder even though Windows isn't case sensitive. Seems like that should have been a two answer as a fix, not months later.
