Yes, I know that, and so does KiCad. It is displaying a banner on each window saying the "schematic is read only" and the "PCB is read only", yet it is still trying to autosave the files to those read only directories.?
The other issue is that this error occurs when viewing the demo projects that are installed by KiCad for use as demos by new users. These projects are opened from the File->Open Demo Project... menu and then this error message starts popping up every now and then while the user is trying to test drive KiCad. It's not a good introduction.
KiCad could offer to copy the demo project to another location when a demo is opened, but I suspect that would just seem like a barrier to a new user that just want to open a project an take a look.
