Bug ID: 482630
Summary: Cannot edit/overwrite files stored on Windows shared
folder
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version: 23.08.1
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: joseph.gr...@nmt.us
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When you try to annotate and then overwrite a file stored on a Windows network
share, from a Windows PC you get an error message related to copying the
partial file to the real save location. This only happens when you access the
files with the "\\share\location\file" type syntax, it works if you map the
share to a letter drive (marked minor because of this workaround). It also
works if you save a new file, it's only overwrites that break it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open file on network share without mapping the share to a letter drive. E.g.
"\\SHARE-PC\SHARE-NAME\test-file.pdf"
2. Overwrite the original file with File->Save As
3. Select Yes when asked to replace the file.
OBSERVED RESULT
The file is not saved and the following error message is displayed in a popup:
File could not be saved in 'file://SHARE-PC/SHARE-NAME/test-file.pdf'. Error:
'Could not rename partial file //SHARE-PC/SHARE-NAME/test-file.pdf.
Please check permissions.'. Try to save it to another location.
EXPECTED RESULT
The file is saved.
