Cant edit scripts in Linux, but can in Windows
Hi I've downloaded the professional edition, and recently switched from Windows to Linux. I've imported the scripts from the Windows version and they run but I cannot edit them. I can create a new script, delete a script but cant edit or rename the script.
It appears I have read write and execute permissions for the directory in which SS is installed, however Im new to linux so perhaps there is something I've missed.
Currently I'm managing to edit in a version running under windows (via VirtualBox) then export and import into the linux version to run it.
Problem is my 30 days is almost up, so do I get a license for the Win version which works (but I hate windows) or the linux version which doesn't work.
About 1/2 of the developers
About 1/2 of the developers in my office are using Linux workstations, mostly Ubuntu, so I know it works. Which Linux are you on? Do you have any errors in the log? Have you tried updating to version 4.5.24a?
Ubuntu
Im on Ubuntu Ubuntu 9.10
No errors in the log.
I do suspect I should re-install ubuntu. I have noticed a few other strange things (not just screen-scraper)
anyway if I register and purchase screen scraper, I presume I get a key of some sort,
Does that key work for both Windows and Ubuntu, or would I need to purchase twice in order to switch between the OS's

Linux permissions?
RO,
The issue you're having with not being able to edit pre-existing objects (scripts, scrapeable files) sounds like it could be an issue with permissions. Do you recall whether or not you chmod 700 the installer prior to installation? If not, you can reinstall and follow the instructions on the download page or attempt the following on your existing installation.
Close down the workbench and server if running and open a terminal window. Navigate to the directory immediately below screen-scraper's installation folder and type the following example.
chmod -R 700 screen-scraper\ enterprise\ edition/Yes, after purchasing a screen-scraper license, your registration will work on any system. Keep in mind that you're only allowed two installs (one for development and one for production), but both will work across systems.
