This is a very weird bug(?) I have come across before and now it happened again with 3.0.  
Whenever I start a new project or save my index.html file and open the folder it resides in  
as a project - Pinegrow refuses to open it and prompts “Files of this type can not be edited in Pinegrow.”

If I open the .html document by itself it says that Pinegrow doesn’t have permission to read from D:/  
Weird.

Why is this a problem? Well I don’t usually store anything else other than software on my C: Drive. But I guess I will have to make an exception until it’s possible to get a fix. I’d appreciate if anyone knew how to give Pinegrow access to other drives.

This is still a problem for me.  
If I try to open projects or files on another drive than the one where Pinegrow is installed, it won’t open.

Hello @CIPHER2K

Can you contact us at our [support email](https://pinegrow.com/contact-us/) and tell us (a lot more) about the situation (pinegrow version, operating system, network drive details and so on) ?

Thanks a lot.
