First Time Use, permission errors during initializing a new project.
Describe the bug I am trying to set up RootPainter, and I am at the point where I am trying to create a new project. I am set up using SSHFS and a mapped folder from my University's computing cluster. It seems like RootPainter has writing access, but something further along is going wrong with permissions.
To Reproduce
Expected behavior I expected the program to initialize.
Screenshots
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: [e.g. windows 10, Ubuntu 20 etc]
- Browser (if related to the colab notebook) [e.g. chrome, safari]
- Version: 1.18.3181.0

thanks for reaching out and for giving RootPainter a try.
Looks like a problem with your file system. You might need to talk to someone from your I.T department (or whoever helps you set up network drives) to figure out how to get write access.
It also looks like you've specified your sync directory as your root folder or Y:\\
You may have more luck with permissions if you specify the sync directory to be inside your user home folder. I'm not sure exactly what the best solution is but its related to the specifics of your file system and sshfs settings. I think you could either try altering permissions/settings or specify a different folder where the current user does have write access.
While you are figuring out how to find /setup a folder that has write permissions via sshfs you can also use the colab notebook https://colab.research.google.com/drive/104narYAvTBt-X4QEDrBSOZm_DRaAKHtA
But you will likely have a better experience if you can get it working on your university cluster.
