https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256784 Summary: Handling of picture metadata in case of read-only
files
Product: digikam
Version: 1.5.0
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Version: 1.5.0 (using KDE 4.5.3)
OS: Linux
If you have read-only files on your harddisk (e.g. because they have been
copied from a CD ROM), Digikam obviously can't write to this files.
If you are editing these kind of pics, you will notice that, because digikam
issues aa warning.
But if you are editing only the metadata of the files (geotagging, adjusting
timestamps, EXIF rotate etc.), these data will only be written to Digikam's
database and not to the original files without any notice to the user. This
leads to inconsistencies between the EXIF metadata and Digikam's database,
which is especially annoying when also using other programmes or platforms with
your photos.
IMHO Digikam should also issue a warning if you change only the metadata of a
read-only picture to inform the user that his/her adjustments will not be saved
in the picture.
Reproducible: Always
