This has been submitted to support via the automatic reporting function, but I thought I'd report it here as well - am I the only seeing this? This is the second time in about 12 hours that I've seen this error:

---------------------------
Error occured in Actual Window Manager
---------------------------
An error has occured in Actual Window Manager:

`EFCreateError: Cannot create file C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Actual Tools\Actual Window Manager\Wallpapers\Composed.bmp'

Composed.bmp appears to be a screenshot taken by AWM. There is an associated composed.cwp file with it (the only cwp file in the folder). I have Altero Oops!Backup setup to backup my users folder; I only just set this up yesterday and suspect that both programs are trying to access the file at the same time. I'm going to disable Oops!Backup from backing this folder up and see what happpens.

Michael, thank you for the report (we've received both email reports as well).

Composed.bmp is a compound wallpaper picture AWM creates and sets as a desktop background. As you noted right, the error appears when AWM fails to access this file in your profile's folder. I believe when you disable the backup program - the error will disappear.

Please, keep us informed on this situation. Thank you!

Hi Alex,

Thank you for the reply - I haven't had an issue since I set Oops!Backup to ignore the folder
