Hi there,

I've got a question, in my plugin I'm trying to create a directory on the Windows users' desktop to write files to with the following code:

username = os.getlogin()    #Get the windows user name

SavePathPackage = 'C:\\Users\\{username}\\Desktop\\TurnTableTool\\'

# -----Checking if directories exist, if not create them-----#
if (os.path.exists(SavePathPackage)):
    print("Path found on desktop")
else:
    os.makedirs("C:\\Users\\{username}\\Desktop\\TurnTableTool")
    print("Created path on desktop")

However, this throws en error:
“winerror 5 access is denied”

The usual fix is to run the code as admin but since this is a plugin within Cinema, that is not possible.

Any pointers perhaps?
