Hello, I tried asking this in IRC last night but I don't think anybody was awake, so I'll try here instead. :)
I've been happily using f-spot for quite a while now until recently I moved my photo collection onto a server. I've shared the photo directory via samba and am mounting it on my desktop machine using cifs and POSIX extended attributes. The mount works fine: I'm able to browse, edit, delete and create folders and files from the command line or nautilus without any issues. The problem is when I come to import photos. I sometimes get an error message like this: Import error Error importing /mnt/cdrom/IMG_3317.JPG Access to the path "/store/Photos/2007/12/16" is denied. Now, /store is the mount point itself, and before this import the 2007/12 directory did not exist (it was create by f-spot). If I cancel the import that new directory disappears. Looking at the directory from the command line, it has the same ownership as all of the others (rbrown:users). My username is rbrown and I am in the users group. The only difference is that this new directory that f-spot created does not allow write access to the group. Now, I'd immediately blame this on a samba musconfiguration, but the thing is I can create /store/Photos/2007/12/16 myself just fine by both the command line and using Nautilus via the mount. I can't see how it should be any different for f-spot. I hate to speculate since I don't know the code at all, but could f-spot be trying to write to the directory before it is 'ready' at the server end, or something like that? Any help would be appreciated. -- Russ. _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
