Subject: Re: [guide-user] Missing file when edifying new overlay
Hi,
just a guess, because I had installed Guide 8 on a MACbook with Virtualbox some time ago.
When transferring Guide files to the MAC (via an iso file), they became write protected.
(Please don't beat me, if this is not the case; ... just wanted to help).
