Can't save .las/.laz files on Mac
Posted: Sat Mar 08, 2025 9:45 pm
I really hope someone can help me here.
Here's the environment I'm running on a MacBook with Apple M1 silicon running Sequoia 15.3.1.
THE PROBLEM: I am unable to save ANY file from CC.
Here is the error message I get in the log window:
[16:29:11] An error occurred while saving '/Users/KenJacobMacbook/QGIS/LiDAR/temp test folder/USGS_LPC_CT_Statewide_C16_830905_nw_lasheight.laz': the third-party library in charge of saving/loading the file has failed to perform the operation
This error occurs if all I do is open a .laz file from the USGS website, do nothing to it, and then try to save it to a new file. And it happens to ALL other point clouds I've processed in CC (wonderfully, by the way -- very happy with what I can do in this program.)
I've attached the state of the save dialog box (I didn't change anything) in case that's helpful.
HELP PLEASE!!!
Sincerely,
Ken
