Your user account needs to have write access to a file called settings.ini that is located in the same directory as Candle.exe.

@ArturoPin please describe how did you installed the Candle, how do you usually start it and what happens when you close it (maybe there is a message about application crash?)

@ondras12345 What is the typical sequence of Candle installation which should lead to write permissions absence?

What is the typical sequence of Candle installation which should lead to write permissions absence?

Unzip as Administrator to Program Files and try to run as a regular user. I haven't used Windows for a few years now, but i vaguely remember something like that happened to me.
Either that or running directly from the .zip file without unzipping it first. In both cases, Candle is unable to write to the file.
It can definitely read it, because otherwise the Visualizer window would be all black.

It also is the most likely reason for this problem to occur. I believe the only other way this could happen is if Candle crashed before saving settings, but I haven't encountered that yet.

@ondras12345 "Unzip as Administrator" is not the typical case for Windows 10 Home, don't you think?

"Running directly from ZIP" - is what I'm expecting to get as an answer. Permissions is not an issue and the suggestion to check the permissions is confusing.

Extracting to Programa Files folder it Will adquire the permisions of that folder, by default no site to users. A terça, 5/07/2022, 10:01, ondras12345 ***@***.***> escreveu:

You were right, all what I need to do was running the SW as administrator. Thanks
