Operating system: macOS Catalina 10.15.2  
Slicer version: 4.11.0  
Expected behavior: Save the scene  
Actual behavior: Error saying could not make temp directory

Hi!  
I’m new to slicer and just scratching the surface. I have a problem. Whenever I want to save in mrb format, an error code pops up and says, that “Could not make temp directory” and "Cannot write scene file, regardless of the selected directory. However when I save all the files separately saving works just fine.  
The .log file is not visible in the report bug window and when I open the error log window, the software freezes and the only way to close it is to force quit.  
Is there any solution to this.  
Thank you for the help in advance!

Greetings: Daniel

As the error message shows, the problem is that your temporary directory is not writeable. Choose a writeable directory in menu: Edit / Application settings / Modules / Temporary directory.
