unable to get spacial dataset: Unable to save the file C:\Users\XYZ\tmp\inspireatomclient\: Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden..

I'm using plugin Version INSPIRE Atom Client 0.7.0. and QGIS 3.28.2-Firenze.
Unfortunatelly, when I click the the Get Spacial Dataset button, I get the following error: C:\Users\XYZ\tmp\inspireatomclient: Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden.. (The system cannot find the path specified)

I can manually pontto the path and the plugin generates xml-Files there. So it can be found.

Does anyone have an idea or solution for this?

To be honest I'm struggling to understand how this could happen - if the directory can be created and files saved there then any other part of the system should be able to find it.

I notice that you're using version 0.7.0 - is it possible for you to upgrade to the current version 0.8.1 and see whether the problem disappears?

Thank you for your answer. I've just updatet to Version 0.8.1 but still receiving the same error message.
A forgot to mention before, even with the error an empty layer is created.

Ok, in that area nothing has really changed between 0.7.0 and 0.8.1 - it was more the hope that something could be better!

It seems that the main QGIS process somehow has problems reading the files which the plugin has (successfully created), which is really weird. Could you say what Windows version you're on - just in case that may be relevant. I think I will have to ask whether anyone on the QGIS dev mailing list has an idea, as I'm pretty stumped.

Thank you for your further assistance. I'm running Windows 11 Business Version 22H2.

Just to clarify: When you say that you can manually point to the path, do you mean that you can manually open the downloaded file as a layer in QGIS, or only that you are able to view the folder in Windows Explorer?

[rhilipp]

Please excute my late reply. I can open the downloaded file as a layer in QGIS. But in most cases there is not a shape file, instead there are damaged or empty xml files.

[ejn]

ok, thanks for the information. It is expected that there is no shape file (assuming you mean .shp) in the temporary folder as GML will be downloaded from the WFS. When you say "damaged or empty xml files", do you mean literally empty files, or does the file contain an empty FeatureCollection element (i.e. no features were returned)?
