Description martonmiklos 2019-01-04 20:54:22 UTC 
SUMMARY

When copying files from an MTP or PTP device (such a digital camera) the copied files will have readonly permissions for the owner as well. It is pretty inconvenient because before I edit those files I have to change permissions. 
I understand that it makes sense to keep the file permissions during the copy operation, but this case is different: I can delete files from the MTP/PTP filesystem.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect an MTP device which contains some files
2. Copy a file to a location where you have write permissions

OBSERVED RESULT
The copied file will have readonly permissions

EXPECTED RESULT
The copied file should have RW permissions for the copying user


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 16.04.3
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 16.04.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.36.0
Qt Version: 5.6.1

Thanks for reporting this bug. I have tried to reproduce this behavior on my local machine connecting my phone via MTP and copied several files, and all permissions are copied correctly for me. Your bug was most likely fixed with our new MTP implementation (first available with Dolphin 18.12.0 and KDE Frameworks 5.51 if I am not mistaken). 

We can sadly not backport this implementation to older versions of Dolphin, so you'd need to update your system to the latest version of Dolphin. If the bug does still occur with Dolphin 18.12.0, please reopen this bug report. Thanks!

Hi Julian!

Many thanks for pointing to it! Unfortunately it will took a while before I can test it on Ubuntu but it is good to know that it is fixed .

I have upgrad.ed my machine to Ubuntu 19.04 which ships with KDE Frameworks 5.56.0 and Dolphin 18.12.3. The pasted files still does not have writable permissions:

One thing what I need to note that I have copied the files from a camera://whatever url not from an mtp:// one.
