In Gnumeric you get a "permission denied" message including the complete file name for the file. I don't see how this could be any more verbose (in a useful way).
Users could choose to use save-as or to change teh permissions of the file. I don't thin kit is a good idea to presuppose that they will want to use save-as! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196488 Title: Unhelpful errors when trying to save to a read-only file Status in “abiword” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnumeric” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gimp When opening a read only file (e.g. an attachment from an email), you can edit the file, but when saving it you just get an error message. Ideally this should be more verbose, or (I think preferably) continue with a Save As dialog that contains an explanation of why they are seeing it.
