I have been trying to save my CSV file using the "Save As" from a right click as suggested on many websites, but I literally can't see this button. See my picture attached (on the left my QGIS 3.2 interface, on the right a blog extract based on QGIS 2.8), is that a bug?

I am trying to do that to save my data with another CRS that would match my shapefile so that I can calculate my buffer with a unit different from my CSV file.

    Did you try the "Save Features As" button?

    @Laure It sounds like there are some other file management issues going on there, meaning QGIS can't read the folder you're trying to save to - browse to an explicit location and name the file vs. taking any default locations / names.

It's been renamed to "save features as". Your "permission denied" error is a result of trying to save the output somewhere which cannot be written to. Try clicking the "..." button and setting a different output folder.
