Heads Up: Attempting to save a file that is "Read Only" provides an ambiguous warning message.

Hey guys, I noticed this just recently. Sometimes when I’m attempting to save a file like a blueprint class, I’ll get an error like “Filename.uasset could not be saved please try again”. It’s a pretty **** ambiguous message and leaves a lot of questions hanging.

Well it turns out that this will occur if the file is listed as read only (likely set due to source control actions). This isn’t a big deal, because it makes sense that the file can’t be saved. However, the error message is very ambiguous, especially considering the fact that I’ve seen the correct “you can’t save this because the file is locked” message elsewhere.

Just a heads up guys, if you are having save issues it could be because of this. Epic may want to clarify in order to prevent confusion.
