In Gnumeric you get a "permission denied" message including the complete file name for the file. I don't see how this could be any more verbose (in a useful way).
Users could choose to use save-as or to change teh permissions of the file. I don't thin kit is a good idea to presuppose that they will want to use save-as! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196488 Title: Unhelpful errors when trying to save to a read-only file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/196488/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
