Getting Error of dac and file permission

[checkitmore]

Hi,

I am not familiar and quickly installed this plugin script and it does not work. When I see console I found this. Can you please help?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\KB\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts\dictautocomp\dictautocomp.py", line 207, in
dac
NameError: name 'dac' is not defined. Did you mean: 'DAC'?

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hi @checkitmore , thanks for letting me know about this issue! I'm sorry you had this problem.

I think the issue is that SYSTEM doesn't have issue to the %AppData%/Roaming/Notepad++/plugins/Config/PythonScript/scripts/dictautocomp folder where this script lives, and because of this my script can't write the config files that the plugin needs in order to function.

I can't actually replicate this on my computer, so helping you is going to be a bit tricky, but what I recommend is opening up the %AppData%/Roaming/Notepad++/plugins/Config/PythonScript/scripts folder (the folder that contains this script's folder) in File Explorer, right-clicking on the dictautocomp folder, choosing Properties from the drop-down, then navigating to the Security tab, then choosing SYSTEM, then checking Full control, then clicking Apply. So here's a picture summarizing what you need to do:

Please let me know if doing that helps! If it does, I will add it to my README.
