So... I am copying a build how I have always normally done it. After doing so I get a message that the copy was successful. However, no file is created in my oxide/data/copypaste folder. Then when I try to paste it I get a "File Does Not Exsist" message because the file was never created.
Please help! Thanks! 😉
Copying Build Is Not Working!
Does anyone care that NO file is being created and saved in the oxide/data/copypaste folder when copying a build? without this file being created and saved you can't refer to it later to paste it. Which defeats the whole purpose of this plugin! 🤬
Hey there, have you tried checking folder permissions or deleting the folder? No errors/messages in server console?
Having the same issue. No errors creates a config but no data folder. I added a folder and put a file in it it recognized it when i used the copylist command but wont deploy it says file isnt found. Any help is appreciated

Hello misticos,
This is what is happening, I did check the copypaste folder located in the oxide/data folder that does contain past files that I successfuly saved before I started having this issue. When checking the permissions under properties for this copypaste folder I did notice that it was set to "Read Only (Only applies to files in this folder)" so I unchecked that box to disable that, then hit apply and closed the properties window. However, when I recheck the properties again, it reverts to "Read Only" again. It almost seems like the copypaste folder is locked somehow and it will not allow it to save the unchecked "Read Only" setting.
So I decided to remove the copypaste folder entirely and replaced it with a new empty copypaste folder with nothing in it. Then I reloaded the plugin and tested it to see if that fixed it. Nope same thing I copied a build and got a message that it was successfully copied yet when I went to check the copypaste folder to see if the copy file was there, again it was not. also this new unblocked blank copypaste folder I created was locked again with the "Read Only" setting. And no I do not get any errors/messages in the server console at any time. So I have no clue on what's going on. I have always used the CopyPaste plugin for years without any issues. It almost seems like as soon as FacePunch added their own aweful and inferior copypaste feature nativly to the game the Great CopyPaste plugin stopped working for me with this issue.
Any further help, advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Ok now I'm really confused and disappointed, in trying to fix this I unloaded the CopyPaste plugin then completely removed all files related to the plugin. config, data, lang, etc. Then I reistalled it ver. 4.2.0 and reloaded it with no adjustments to it. console showed that it was loaded and working with no errors. I got in game and copied a small build and I got the message that it was successfully copied as House-Test. However much to my surprise, when I went to check the files I could not find any CopyPaste.json config file, no oxide/data/copypaste folder or any copypaste files in the oxide/lang folder! the only file that exists is the CopyPaste.cs plugin file. So I don't know how its working and generated the "successfully copied as House-Test" message when I copied the samll build when I was in the server. I am so totally confused!
I've just installed a new empty server with Oxide, dropped in the latest CopyPaste.cs (4.2.0) and it loaded, created files in lang, configuration appeared just fine. I was able to copy and paste a building perfectly fine as well. Plugin doesn't directly work with files so it cannot really affect anything like that. If it's caused by the plugin, that would be the case for all of your data files. That's because it's using Oxide's datafile system just like almost all other plugins. Try using a different filename, and make sure there are no other "copypaste" datafiles.
