Description Sakari Bergen 2005-09-22 17:13:32 UTC

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... ;-).
