GZDoom 3.3.2 "Could not open"

[JagDogger2525]

I am trying to take a few screen shots but for some reason, GZDoom is giving me "Could not open C:/[insert_directory_location]/gzdoom[screenshot_name].png/jpg

 

what is going on and how could I fix this?

What's the directory location you so conveniently left out? Does it contain "Program Files"?

This sounds like you tried to save to a write protected directory.

Actual Location: "C:\Users\JagDogger\Documents\GZDoom"

 

Nah, I don't think that's a write protected directory, if I'm not mistaken

Anyone want to kindly help, please?

Have you right clicked that GZDoom folder, selected properties, and checked if the checkbox next to "read-only" is filled in?  If it is, then uncheck it and press OK.  Not trying to insult your intelligence or anything.  It's usually simple things like that.  

 

I've noticed in general that whenever people put files in that particular folder (c:\users\username\Documents) that the folders created there tend to be set to read-only. I dunno why Windows does that, though.

For some reason, I have changed the screen shot directory to C:\GZDoomScreen\ and it actually worked
