[Bug 196488] Re: Unhelpful errors when trying to save to a read-only file

[Bug 196488] Re: Unhelpful errors when trying to save to a read-only file
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 Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196488 Title: Unhelpful errors when trying to save to a read-only file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/196488/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 196488] Re: Unhelpful errors when trying to save to a read-only file
This does give an error message, which could be worded better or different. Perhaps something similar to the error message given when using Save As... which states explicitly that the file is read only. ** Changed in: abiword (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- Unhelpful errors when trying to save to a read-only file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196488 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Confirmed in intrepid alpha 6, Gimp 2.4.7.
