I cannot reproduce this problem. I use Sunfish, too, and ArtWorks imports and exports PDF files directly from/to Sunfish mounts, so this is not a general problem. Maybe some local configuration issue? I use Sunfish 2.05, by the way (RISC OS 5.18). > Theres obviously a simple explanation to why the image filing > system is working this way but its very frustrating having to > do intermediate "saves". I do not think it is as simple as that. What happens when you change the local disc name of the mount to something less bulky (in particular, something without slashes?), e.g., NedUbuntu?
