Permission Error

Question

I am getting the following error message when I select a project on the Basic pane. I have two separate projects in C:\\My Paratext 9 Projects that are named Tangkhul and Tavua. It seems as though PTXprint is looking for one of them inside the other, but they are not in each other's folder. They are separate. Can you please assist? Thank you in advance.

PTXprint Version 3.0.8

From the error message, it looks like there is no book for it to process. And yes the path does look odd too, but not actually erroneous. I would restart ptxprint and select your project carefully and then delete the default configuration to get it to start with a clean slate. If your source filenames do not end in .SFM or .USFM (either case) then that may confuse it too.

Thank you very much! Your response pointed me in the right direction. What worked was to delete all files other than the USFM files in the MP9P Tangkhul folder and then create a new config in PTXp.
