<p>Hi Alexandre, Ken,</p>
<p>I would like to second this opinion and first thank you very much
for bringing this subject up.</p>
<p>If you are fine with it, please follow Alexandre Neto's approach
and add new issues (one per issue you encounter) here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/issues">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/issues</a></p>
<p>There we can help you (figure out what's wrong) and update the
documentation for everyone else too.</p>
<p>Thanks again</p>
<p>Matthias<br>

I remember having this problem if I typed the shapefile

Browse button to select a location for the file.<br>

Hope this helps,<br>

<p>Hi Ken,</p>
<p>Where are you storing the new layer? Maybe you are
not selecting a folder where you can write the new
shapefile (that's why you get the permission denied
error). Can you confirm the location of the new
shapefile?</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
