Description Robby Stephenson 2009-12-19 01:09:52 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

This might be a "feature" or intended function of the KSaveFile::backupFile() method, but its different than my expectation.

The backup file, simply backup file in my case with a ~ suffix, doesn't have the same group ownership as the original file.

After saving a file (with Tellico) in group 'video' (just for testing), the backup file has the default group of 'users'. The 'robby' user is a member of both groups.

robby@homebase:~/tmp> ls -l tctmp1.tc*
-rw------- 1 robby video 152070 2009-12-18 16:10 tctmp1.tc
-rw------- 1 robby users 152063 2009-12-18 16:10 tctmp1.tc~

Is that intended? I would expect the backup file to have identical ownership as the original one, at least as much as possible.

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have resolved this bug.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
