            Bug ID: 318353
           Summary: implement kind of a read-only mode
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

Hi.

In my image processing and organising work-flow I have for example the
following basic paradigm:
Never ever modify RAW images (which, if the camera has now RAW, would be the
original JPEG). Neither content nor metadata.
Such metadata changes should then go into XMP sidecar files

It would be great if digikam has a mode, in which it guaranteed never writes to
files which are read-only (respectively for which the user/owner/other has no
write permission bit set, even if he owns the file and could simply change
that).


Would that be possible? Or is it even already handled like this?


Cheers,
Chris.

Reproducible: Always

Raw file metadata will are only touch is you turn on option in digiKam Matadata
setup page. This option is disable by default.

In fact since digiKam support XMP sidecar files, this will be for you the
better way to preserve RAW metadata. This feature is also supported in digiKam
Metadata panel.

To resume, by default, RAW files are not touch by default.

Well RAW... but not necessarily JPEGs, right? Which can also be the "raw" image
in case your camera has now RAW ability.

Anyway I guess it boils down to:
Does digikam override missing writable flags on files (when it can)?
Some programs do this, e.g. VIM can to when you don't just say :w but :w!

Cheers,
Chris.

Try it... if the behavior is not adequate, report it here, reopening

Hey Marcel.

Well digiKam is quite "huge" if there was one place, where this happens when I
use some magic option,... it could be already "too late" once I notice it ...
therefore the question whether you know whether this is done anywhere or
planned to do so. ;-)
