Version: 0.6.2 (using KDE KDE 3.2.3) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux A digikam is often a shared resource, like a printer. On any given download from the camera, there are pictures that I took, and pictures that other members of my family took. I have a shared "photo" directory that every member of my family uses and I've made it sgid but that isn't sufficient to allow everyone to move or modify the shared photos since everyone's umask is 022 (which I would like to keep, except for the shared photos). One way around this would be to allow digikam to write out new files with a different umask, to allow everyone in the group "users" to move or modify the files. Or perhaps there's a more elegant solution? Thanks.
sorry, but this functionality is not meant to be implemented via digikam. you can find other solutions to handle this problem for eg, by using either a cron job/batch script. there might be better solutions to this problem.
I think it would be handy to configure the umask on a per-application basis, but I think that ought to be generically via the menu entry, rather than coded into various applications.
