Bug ID: 466728
Summary: KAutoSave exceeds maximum file length on ecryptfs
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kcoreaddons
Version: 5.103.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mp...@kde.org
Reporter: ja...@jarno.ca
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I'm using Kdenlive on a user home partition that is encrypted with ecryptfs.
Kdenlive uses KAutoSave to autosave the project. However, when ecryptfs also
encrypts filenames, they become longer on the underlying file system (ext4 in
my case).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Kdenlive
2. Have a project saved in a folder like "OneDrive/video/Seminar
Series/2023-02-28 GPU Programming"
3. Edit the project
OBSERVED RESULT
After every edit, Kdenlive outputs an error saying that autosave failed.
EXPECTED RESULT
Autosave should work
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.013.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think it's related to this older (and resolved) bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412519
The final comment in that thread points to a fix in KAutoSave to deal with too
long path names. However, ecryptfs only supports filenames that are shorter
than FILENAME_MAX which I assume is a fixed length.
