Bug ID: 416058
Summary: Permission denied saving into "bin" folder
Product: okular
Version: 1.7.2
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Ocular cannot save PDF's inside a folder that's called "bin" which lies in the
home directory. Does not apply to folders with that name somewhere else in the
system tree.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. cd ~
2. mkdir ./bin
3. Open any PDF, edit it and save it to "~/bin" or any subfolder thereof
Error message:
File could not be saved in 'file:///home/USERNAME/bin/test.pdf'. Error: 'Access
denied.
Could not write to /home/USERNAME/bin/test.pdf.part.'. Try to save it to
another location.
EXPECTED RESULT
This restriction seems to be put in artificially and should not be there. (Or
at most there should be a warning, "Cautious bin-folders are important")
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux (x86_64) release 5.0.0-37-generic
