<p>I am not a windows expert, but a couple of questions/suggestions.</p>
<p>The number one is, are you running any plugins? And if you are, does the problem occur when you run with no plugins?</p>
<p>I presume you retried the save and the "permission denied" continued after you had checked that nobody had a handle on the file?</p>
<p>Are you using windows native dialogs or GTK dialogs? And does the problem occur when you try the other? I vaguely remember something about dialogs having locks on files or directories because they read the metadata to populate the dialog.</p>
<p>IIRC the <code>gio_unsafe_save_backup</code> needs <code>use_gio_unsafe_file_saving</code> set as well.</p>
<p>Does the problem occur if you have neither <code>use_atomic_file_saving</code> nor <code>use_gio_unsafe_file_saving</code> nor  <code>gio_unsafe_save_backup</code> set?</p>
