[...] However, the "rotate" operation does not work if the original file is not writable because it attempts to modify the original instead of either a) creating a new version (as the manual states it will do), or b) storing the new display setting in the database (as it does for tags/ratings/etc). It is important to me that my original files are never modified in any way. If the manual clearly states "your original is never altered", then there must never be a situation where it needs write access to the file.
I think this bug should be fixed by f-spot 0.8 which you can find in experimental. Unfortunately it can't be fixed in Squeeze because it is frozen for all but release critical fixes for some time now. If you are able, could you upgrade to 0.8.2-1 in experimental and see if this fixes your issue? Cheers, Iain
