Can't edit and save across network
With two networked computers, if we create a Koolmoves project on one computer in a shared directory, it can be opened and edited from the other computer. But if we try to save it (back to the other computer), we get the hourglass forever, losing the edits. A workaround is to save it locally then copy it, but any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it.
Windows XP restricted account, latest Koolmoves 4.6.5.
I'm having this problem too...
I posted an almost identical message a few days ago.

KM grinds to a halt when I try to save it [on the network].
My processor load goes up to 100% and stays there, and I usually have to stop KM from the task manager.
I have noticed that if you leave KM long enough then it WILL eventually complete the save process...
I have two PCs - a 'server' that is our main computer, and a second one that I get booted on to when my wife wants to do proper work. Files are all stored on the 'server' machine.
I've also noticed that when I save .fun files over the network then my files seem to grow massively in size. I was working on one (on the 'server' machine) and the file was about 100k. When I opened that same file over the network, made a few changes, and then saved it then it grew to 5Mb for no apparent reason.
I'm not experiencing problems with any other software and am successfully opening much larger files in other applications without issue. As far as I can tell my home network is running fine. I'm running XP Home, SP2, Administrator account and the latest KoolMoves.
I got a reply to my post from gusmus suggesting that using KM from a virtual drive wasn't giving him any trouble and must confess that I've not tried that approach as I've not had time.
