buffer~ write permissions error

Hi All,

I’m getting an error when writing buffer~ files using the “write” message. If I supply just a filename, I get a permissions error: “jsoundfile_writefloats: could not create output stream. check permissions of output directory.” If I supply an absolute path, the file writes no problem.

write myBuff.aiff –> error
write “Macintosh HD:/Users/david/Desktop/bufferwritetest/myBuff.aiff” –> writes file

Thanks!
David
