Hi

By reading the code of CFPropertyList and the backtrace, I see the exception is raised in the call of a constructor. Then it seems appropriate that the library throws an exception.

I think that ulysse3-export should catch the exception and handle it. Can you check the permissions of the file being open ?

[gingerbeardman]

File permissions are readable, I'll look into it further

[gingerbeardman]

I guess I'll have to give up, files are all readable so I have no idea why it's throwing CFPropertyList\IOException::notReadable

[btry]

The library throws the exception if the function is_readable returns false.

Please, read the documentation of this function http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-readable.php and carefully check all details of the documentation against your system. Maybe there is something wrong with tue UID and GID of the file. Check also all directories from the root of your filesystem to the file, one by one.

Will do, thanks

It seems that - for whatever reason - the script cannot access the iCloud Mobile Documents folder so I am progressing by making a copy of that folder and working on that.

ditto "/Users/matt/Library/Mobile Documents/X5AZV975AG~com~soulmen~ulysses3/Documents/Library/" copy/

I guess you have to adjust the permissions on a directory, or the user running your project.

[gingerbeardman]

Permissions are:

755 /Users
755 /matt
700 /Library
755 /Mobile Documents
755 /X5AZV975AG~com~soulmen~ulysses3
755 /Documents
755 /Library

Changing Library to 755 made no difference.
