Bug ID: 439793
Summary: Edit + Save As ... -- images lost after closing
gwenview
Product: gwenview
Version: 20.12.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Opening images w/ gewenview, editing and saving under a different name, those
images are lost afterr closing gwenview
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. gwenview foo.png
2. Edit -> Crop
3. Save As ... -> bar.png
4. close Gwenview
5. bar.png is nowhere to be found
Despite opening files from a specific location, Gwenview proposes as location
to "Save As ..." a generated folder in /tmp, /tmp/gwenview-ABCde or such.
This certainly is unexpected, I'd expect the location to be the same folder as
the original images are in.
Secondly, when closing Gwenview, no warning is given that those files are
simply to be deleted together with that generated folder.
While there may be a reason to create a folder in /tmp/ and link the original
images there (though I struggle to think of a convincing one), that certainly
cannot mean that users are lead inintentionally to store their files in a place
destined to be deleted.
And finally, Gwenview cannot bluntly delete the generated folder as if nothing
happend when there are actual files in there, saved by Gwenview no less, not
just links.
So:
As a default:
a) do not propose generated folder as target, but the source folder, the user
actually gave
OR
b) warn the user when closing Gwenview about files in that generated folder
that are not just links of the original images
c) do not delete the folder if there are files that are not just links of the
original images
