Hi,

amarok (1.4.3) does not prevent the user that he tag-edit files, that are read-only. Of course it is a bit stupid trying to do it. But imagine this worst case:
You copied 100 mp3 three years ago from a CDR into your home. Of course you forgot, that they are read-only and now you start to tag 100 files with the 'Edit Tag Information ...' Dialog. After 30 minutes hard work everything is tagged and you click 'save & close'. Boom! You get an error message and all your changes are lost!

I found two reports, which describe this problem as a side node, but they unfortunetely got closed without fixing this specific issue:
Bug 110299
Bug 131274

Best regards
Georg Sauthoff

IMO this would really be an improvement. Fortunately this didn't happen to me (yet?).

Hi, this bug was reported by David Nemeskey in Ubuntu's bug tracker, here's a link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/amarok/+bug/180369

Has any progress been made, anyone actually working on it?

Amarok 1.4.x is in bugfix-only mode as development is focused on Amarok 2. Unfortunately your bug will very likely not get fixed, as the risk of regressions is too high and the Amarok developers do not have the resources for it. Thank you for your report though.

We should make sure this is not a problem in Amarok 2.

Closing correctly as Amarok 1.x is unmaintained since quite some time anyway.
