Vlado Plaga <rech...@vlado-do.de> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version|3.0.0 |6.0.0 Platform|Ubuntu Packages |Archlinux Packages --- 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? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
