No matter what I do, I can't export anything. My local disk is full, but I have a media drive with over 800 GB of free space which I'm trying to export to. It just keeps giving me that message, and I can't get around it.

Are you on Linux? Then check Disk quotas, especially inodes limit. Could be that there is a limit of count of files saved on media. It could be e.g. 100 000 files. Even you want to save file with size 1 kb on free space with 800 GB it is impossible.

Are you using the latest version of the app? There was an issue with an older version of the app.

Have you checked which drive is being used by the app as the temporary storage?

I am on Windows, and I already changed the temporary file storage location. I even relocated the settings file. I also have the latest version. I downloaded it yesterday.

@Dragonsboystar I just did a checkup in the code. It only triggers the warning when the space left in the drive is less than 2GB.
I'm using v2.18.

Can you show me a screenshot of the warning?
