SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Repeat until fail
2. Select an image to edit and edit it.
3. Save and close the editor.
4. Delete the Original
5.  End Repeat

OBSERVED RESULT
After about 5 or 6 file deletions, I get a message about permissions on .dtrash.  A reboot of the machine seems to fix the problem for a further 5 or 6 images.  Since I have hundreds of photos that I have to trim and color correct, this is getting old fast.  This was working better yesterday and there has not been any change to the system except for more images in the database.

EXPECTED RESULT
Moving files to trash should be seamless.

Comment 1 jm7@acm.org 2023-09-19 03:06:50 UTC 
Found an anomaly that seems to have caused the problem.  Unfortunately, this only pushes the problem back a level, and does not fix it.

I discovered that there were about 1700 files in .dtrash\info that did not have a counterpart in .dtrash\files.  Telling  digikam to empty the trash, and then deleting all files in .dtrash\info may have resolved the problem for now.  The real question is how it got into that state in the first place.
Comment 2 Maik Qualmann 2023-09-19 05:57:16 UTC 
It is possible that the dtrash info files could not be deleted in the past due to rights issues. We are currently making a change here in digiKam and have set a permission that should grant rights to all users. There was also a fix for the .drash folder creation. Previously, the files and info folders were not created if .dtrash already existed. Do different users use the collection and therefore .dtrash for you?

@jm7@acm.org,

This problem still reproducible with the new digiKam 8.2.0 pre-release Windows
installer available at usual place:

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

This new bundle is based on last Qt framework 5.15.11 and KDE framework 5.110.

Thanks in advance
