Version: 0.7.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux I haven't tried the newest version of digiKam, but AFAIK there is no way of setting permissions for photos/albums, so that all new photos would automatically get saved with the appropriate permissions. I think it would be very usefull to have a setting in digiKam for default permissions. You could then allow a certain group to access your photos. Also an album-specific permissions control would be useful. You could have read-only access for a certain group & album, while the same group would have read/write access to others. I think you get my point. I'm thinking just plain old r/w/x and owner/group/others -permissions, nothing fancier than that.

Digikam respects the umask setting, which is configurable by the user. There is a small issue, http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145252 for which a patch has been proposed. To me this sounds as if this bug could be closed straight-away?
Ok, no comments against closing... ;-). Please don't hesitate to re-open if necessary.
