Hello,

I've recently set up a SimpleViewer gallery for a client along with SVManager (both are pro versions). Everything was working fine on my end when I set it all up, but after handing it over to the client, some errors began to happen which she told me about.

I don't know *exactly* the process in which she did things, but she told me that she logged in, added a couple new images and then added captions to some of the photos. She noticed the error messages and notified me.

When I log in to SVManager I see:  "Notice: could not save gallery preferences to data\galleriesprefs.txt"

When I go to the 'Images' button where you can alter the captions, it gives me a list of the same error repeated:

"  1. Notice: could not save gallery preferences to data\galleriesprefs.txt

  15. Warning: htmlspecialchars() [function.htmlspecialchars]: Invalid multibyte sequence in argument (sv2imagespage.php, line 70)"

I assumed this had something to do with the captions, or an erroneous character she used. I tried to remove all captions, but it will not update the gallery now. In fact, I can't update anything with the gallery now.

Is this a permissions issue? Please help, I have a very antsy client and I'm already way over budget on this project.

Many thanks.
