I use of gwenview to import .jpg images from camera, including creation
of folder in my ~/Documents to contain the images. After import, I use
gwenview to view images. When I rotate an image, and then try to save
it, gwenview says that access is denied: this is new behavior, within
the last few updates, as I have never seen this error before.
I look at the Permissions to the images' folder in Dolphin. I see Owner
& Group "Can View & Modify Content" and Others "Can View Content". I
change permissions for Others to "Can View & Modify Content", check the
box "Apply changes to all subfolders and their contents", and click
"OK". I verify at the command line that permissions are set to -rw-rw-
rw- for all images.
I close and reopen gwenview to these same images. Now when I try to
rotate and save, I do not receive an 'access' error message, but ONLY
SOME of the images are saved. If I close and reopen gwenview, I can
(usually) reliably save the first image I rotate, but then it may likely
fail on the next altered images. Rotated images revert to their original
positions. It does not matter if I rotate the images in full view or
thumbnail view.
I know it's difficult to troubleshoot intermittent problems. I've tried
to find a pattern in what is saved and what is not saved, but the only
detail I can provide is that closing and reopening gwenview allows me to
(most of the time) save the first image I rotate.
I frequently use gwenview and this is a new issue (within the last few
months of updates). I found a similar bug from 2013:
