Godot Version
4.4.1.stable
Question
Hello,
I’m being driven mad by an error that means my UI controller scene won’t save and, therefore, I am currently unable to save my entire project.
When creating my options menu, I mistyped “game_menu.tscn” as “gamwmenu.tscn”. After hitting enter and the scene creating itself, I noticed the typo and changed it in the FileSystem.
However, my UI controller scene is still looking for gamwmenu despite there being no visible reference to that filename in any of my scripts.
I then did a bunch of work on the scene in question without realising that it couldn’t be saved.
Screenshot attached:
Any help gratefully received. Thanks.
That must be really annoying, sorry this is happening to you.
This never happened to me, but here is what I would do:
I would try to do a backup or the next best thing, like copying the project files to another directory or taking screenshots of the setup so I can remake the things I dont want to lose.
Then, i would try to rename the file that cant be saved to the name it had (the one with a typo), and then see if godot is happy to save the project.
Thanks. In the end all I had to do was put the typo back, save, then rename the scene properly again. I’m still very new to this so have been walking on eggshells and didn’t want to break anything.

Next time, Ctrl+Shift+F, type in gamwmenu.tscn and it’ll show you exactly in the code where it is. Click on the result and it’ll take you to the line of code. Fix it. Boom.

Thank you. I did search indiviually in each script, but didn’t realise there was a global search. Consider me educated.
