Hi, I have a use case where geeqie's checking for write permissions on a directory is unnecessary and annoying.
My photos are stored in a separate account from regular users (my wife and myself) so that they are mode 644 and therefore read-only to us. (This is a semi-paranoia choice to prevent accidental deletions). I've set up some editors in geeqie to resize photos and dump them into another directory, ready for emailing or whatever, but geeqie complains "This operation can't continue: destination directory is not writable". As far as I'm concerned this really is unnecessary, because editors such as mine won't always write back to the same directory. Similarly, when opening a photo in the GIMP, if you try to save and discover that the directory is not writable, you would fix the problem yourself. I've had a look through the code myself to make a patch and couldn't make head nor tail of it, except to note that geeqie also checks for unwritable files. This would cause the same problem.
