[Bug 692757] Re: Open with external editor fails with access denied error
Yes the problem lies in lack of w permission on the folder containing the photo. That is, although the photo did have the w permission, and was owned by me. I didn't know about this copy feature of shotwell. Now that I gave w permission to the folder, and Gimp opened the photo, I noticed the filename shown by Gimp has a _modified postfix. I was wandering what this meant, and now it's all clear. May I suggest giving a clearer error message instead of just an access denied error ? Something that would explain what the program is trying to do and why it can't do it. E.g. Can't create copy of name of the photo in folder name of the folder. Reason: access denied. For more information clik here (url pointing to a page or help file where the mechanism is explained). My 2 cents. Thank you very much for your timely and helpful support.

Marcello, I agree we should improve this error message. I've ticketed this upstream here: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3023 Thanks for appreciating that Shotwell is free. :) Lots of people have cooperated to make Shotwell what it is. ** Bug watch added: trac.yorba.org/ #3023 http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3023 ** Also affects: shotwell via http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3023 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692757 Title: Open with external editor fails with access denied error -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 692757] Re: Open with external editor fails with access denied error
Aha! When you select Edit with External Editor in Shotwell, it creates a copy of the master file and launches GIMP to edit that file. That way, your masters remains pristine. It looks to me that the directory your image is in (/home/marcello/Immagini/Foto ordinate per giorno/2010-07-28 - Concerto Cisco e Mondine a Novi di Modena/) is write-protected or you do not have permissions to write to it.

1) yes, gimp starts normally from the command line. 2) yes, if I right click on a photo in Nautilus, an entry for Gimp appears; if I click on it, the Gimp is launched and the selected photo opened. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692757 Title: Open with external editor fails with access denied error -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can you run Shotwell from the console window like so: $ SHOTWELL_LOG=1 shotwell Then choose Open with External Editor. First, cut-and-paste the output from the console window (if any) and add it to this ticket. Second, please upload to this ticket this file: ~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log Either might give us a clue what's going on here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692757 Title: Open with external editor fails with access denied error -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Odd. 1. From a terminal window, run $ gimp Does GIMP start normally? 2. In Nautilus, find a photo file and right click it. In the Open With menu, do you see an entry for GIMP?
