Package: f-spot
Version: 0.6.2-2
Severity: normal

The online manual clearly states:

|> 1.2.1. Versions
|> When you edit your photos, a new copy (called a version) is created,
|> so your original is never altered. After your first edit to a photo,
|> subsequent edits will modify the same version. [...]

However, the "rotate" operation does not work if the original file
is not writable because it attempts to modify the original instead of
either a) creating a new version (as the manual states it will do),
or b) storing the new display setting in the database (as it does for
tags/ratings/etc).

It is important to me that my original files are never modified in any way.
If the manual clearly states "your original is never altered", then there
must never be a situation where it needs write access to the file.
