Problem

You start Stage Designer, and a warning appears that a certain folder could not be created due to a read-only filesystem path.

Background

Under OSX Sierra, Gatekeeper dislocates unsigned applications to random paths on start.

Solution

1. Disable Gatekeeper
2. Open Terminal as Administrator
3. Type sudo spctl --master-disable
4. Reinstall Stage Designer
5. This may affect your security settings

Long Term Solution

Switch from OSX to a real operating system
