Brackets: Unable to create new folder/directory (error NotReadable)

[asherrick]

Hi,

I just got Brackets, and upon trying to create a new folder, I get the following error:

Thanks for any help!

Are you trying to create the new folder in the Getting Started sample project? It's in the installation folder which is not readable. If so, create a new folder somewhere on your disk where you have access, then use _File > Open Folder..._ to switch to that "project" and create your files and folders there.

I wonder if it's worth improving that error. @nethip @redmunds we should be able to detect when a user hits that error inside the getting started project, right?

And maybe instead of this we can point them to a quick video tutorial on Brackets?

@ryanstewart Sure! I thin there is a scope for improvement in the dialog itself. How about adding a link to a new section in our troubleshooting wiki that talks about the possible causes that lead to the failure?

As mentioned in #11182, it would be nice the troubleshooting page talks aboout how to change permissions and how to create a symbolic link.
