Bug ID: 415949
Summary: Can't write sidecar file if image file is a symlink to
readonly directory
Product: digikam
Version: 6.4.0
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Engine

Patch that fixes the issue
My images are stored as a symlink to a readonly file (and directory) in git
annex. I would like digikam to write sidecar files in the same directory (which
is read/write) as the symlink (Not in the git annex). This is not possible
because the save logic first checks if the image is stored in a directory with
read write permissions.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load image that is a symlink to a file stored in a readonly directory. Like
this ls -l 20140104_2717.jpg ->
../../.git/annex/objects/Xx/ZV/BLAKE2B256-s7492892--75f3a3f49dac4cd69004c8a6ca4278d3a88b7a6054466c4a8fc26cd0b5a9d312/BLAKE2B256-s7492892--75f3a3f49dac4cd69004c8a6ca4278d3a88b7a6054466c4a8fc26cd0b5a9d312
2. Configure digikam to read/write to sidecar files
3. Tell digikam to write metadata for file. Item->Write Metadata to file
OBSERVED RESULT
Side car file fails to write.
digikam.metaengine: "/home/david/src/media/2014/2014-01-04/20140104_2717.jpg"
==> New Iptc Keywords: ("XYZ")
digikam.metaengine: filePath
"/home/david/src/media/2014/2014-01-04/20140104_2717.jpg" is a symlink. Using
target
"/home/david/src/media/.git/annex/objects/Xx/ZV/BLAKE2B256-s7492892--75f3a3f49dac4cd69004c8a6ca4278d3a88b7a6054466c4a8fc26cd0b5a9d312/BLAKE2B256-s7492892--75f3a3f49dac4cd69004c8a6ca4278d3a88b7a6054466c4a8fc26cd0b5a9d312"
digikam.metaengine: Dir
"/home/david/src/media/.git/annex/objects/Xx/ZV/BLAKE2B256-s7492892--75f3a3f49dac4cd69004c8a6ca4278d3a88b7a6054466c4a8fc26cd0b5a9d312"
is read-only. Metadata not saved.
EXPECTED RESULT
Side car file is written into directory where original symlink is.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 19.10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Looking at the code the logic is flawed. Please see attached patch which fixes
the issue for me.
Thanks
