Bug 212717

Summary: Bad behavior when updating ID3 tags on files with no write permissions
Product: [Applications] amarok Reporter: Oren Held <oren>
Component: Collections/LocalAssignee: Amarok Bugs <amarok-bugs-null>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

Description Oren Held 2009-11-02 11:04:08 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Reproduce:
1. Make sure an MP3 file is read-only for the user running amarok.
2. Add this MP3 to Amarok's playlist
3. Right click -> Edit track details
4. Modify something and save

Results:
Amarok is updated with the modified detail, yet nothing was written to this file. This is very misleading.

Expected results:
- An error dialog (like in Amarok 1).
- Amarok internal track data shouldn't be changed if the tag couldn't be written for any reason.
