I go to Project Settings, and want to go Binding → Action mapping: When i do whatever, add, delete edit any action, i get an error message saying: “Could not make /… my projectpath/DefaultInput.ini writable”. But it has writeble permission and the changes i made are taking place… Sorry for my bad english, but although i get the message error, it does what it has to do.

In Editor settings for example i dont get this error message and i have the same permissions in the same folder.  
Im using Ue4Editor 4.14.1 for Linux in Ubuntu 16.04 with i5 3470 and 8 gb ram.

Thanks again.

Any news on if the fix makes it to 4.15 or not?

Hello NuLL3rr0r,

This issue has not yet been resolved and does not currently have a listed “target fix”. This being the case it would appear that this will not make it into the 4.15 release as things stand currently.
