When trying to manipulate files for which I have group write
permissions but not user write permissions, the operation fails (such
as move or delete).
If the directory those files are in does not have group write permissions
as well, it must fail.
The containing directory also has group write permisssions, otherwise I
would not be able to manipulate the file on the command line. I know
how unix file permissions work. The problem is the behaviour is
different between the command line and Geeqie.
I am not the owner of the file. I am only a member of the group.
What's strange is that if the permissions for dir and file are OK, Geeqie
will complain it can't copy (!) or move the file, but will do it anyway!
Same applies to scripts (External Editors).
Perhaps the following bug report and patch are related to this problem:
