Error ORCAP-43003 PDF Export 17.4-2019-S027

The output PDF file can't be written in the specified directory. Either an output directory is not specified or it has red-only permission.

I'm storing data on a samba drive on a linux server and I've have the rights to manually create files and folder into the output PDF directory (through linux group rights).

The only thing is that the directory has been created by a colleague (owner = him, not me) but he is in the same linux group than me.

With Cadence 16.6 using the tcl script, I had the same error and I modified manually the checkWritableOutDir function in the capPdfLaunch.tcl script file to allow this PDF generation :

proc capPdfLaunch::checkWritableOutDir { } {
    if { [file writable $::capPdfUtil::mOutDir] == 0} {
    tk_messageBox -type ok -message [concat "The output directory might be readonly but I'll try to do the job anyway..."] -title "Export PDF Message"
    #return 0
    }   
   return 1
}

With the 17.4, since this is now embedded through the menu File/Export, I've have now no access to modify this bug.

Any advice or can you fix this in a future ?

NB : If I create the directory, (owner = me), then I have no issue, but my colleague of the same group than me won't be able to generate the PDF for the same reason than me when I was trying tod o it on its directory.
