[maplab-users] Can't save work in MapEdit

[Zak James]

Matt,

Have you tried saving in a different location? You can set the browse 
root in the maplab configure file. It limits where you can navigate 
with the save dialog panel. If you're able to save the original 
mapfile, I'm not sure what would stop you from creating a new one in 
the same place.
