Ocular cannot save PDF's inside a folder that's called "bin" which lies in the home directory. Does not apply to folders with that name somewhere else in the system tree. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. cd ~ 2. mkdir ./bin 3. Open any PDF, edit it and save it to "~/bin" or any subfolder thereof Error message: File could not be saved in 'file:///home/USERNAME/bin/test.pdf'. Error: 'Access denied. Could not write to /home/USERNAME/bin/test.pdf.part.'. Try to save it to another location. EXPECTED RESULT This restriction seems to be put in artificially and should not be there. (Or at most there should be a warning, "Cautious bin-folders are important") SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux (x86_64) release 5.0.0-37-generic
Cannot reproduce it here. Can you check the permissions (0755) and the owner (your user) once more: stat ~/bin ? Thanks in advance for your answer.
waiting on stat info
Permissions are 755: ME@COMPUTER:~$ ls -l |grep bin drwxr-xr-x 2 ME ME 4096 Jan 10 09:41 bin Then I set the permissions to 777 and the error still persisted: ME@COMPUTER:~$ chmod -R a+w bin/ ME@COMPUTER:~$ ls -l |grep bin drwxrwxrwx 2 ME ME 4096 Jan 10 09:41 bin And finally the stats: ME@COMPUTER:~$ stat ~/bin File: /home/ME/bin Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory Device: fd01h/64769d Inode: 5642408 Links: 2 Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 1000/s1964740) Gid: ( 1000/ME) Access: 2020-01-10 15:28:27.033651233 +0000 Modify: 2020-01-10 09:41:15.266793179 +0000 Change: 2020-01-10 15:28:27.033651233 +0000 Birth: -
