--- Comment #13 from Vlado Plaga <rech...@vlado-do.de> ---
As the original reporter I can confirm that this problem still exists with
digiKam 6.0 (under Arch Linux ARM). I chose "Image tags", "Captions and title",
and "Rating" under "Write this information to metadata" (Configure / Metadata /
Behaviour), then tried to change the title of a read-only file. In a writeable
directory I get the following output on the terminal I started digiKam from:

digikam.metaengine: File "IMG_20190209_112357.jpg" is read only. Metadata not
written.
digikam.metaengine: Will write XMP sidecar for file "IMG_20190209_112357.jpg"
digikam.metaengine: wroteEXIF:  true
...
digikam.metaengine: Metadata for file "IMG_20190209_112357.jpg" written to XMP
sidecar.

When the directory also is read-only, the following is printed:

digikam.metaengine: File "IMG_20190209_112357.jpg" is read only. Metadata not
written.
digikam.metaengine: Will write XMP sidecar for file "IMG_20190209_112357.jpg"
digikam.metaengine: Cannot save metadata to XMP sidecar using Exiv2   (Error #
10 :  /daten/digicam/2019/test_ro3/IMG_20190209_112357.jpg.xmp: Failed to open
file (w+b): Permission denied (errno = 13)

There is no output for a "normal" user, who is not watching his terminal. I
think this can be a severe problem, and would like to see a notification. Maybe
the operating system's notification system could be used, like for when a
folder refresh (triggered by a right-click in the album tree) is completed?
