Public bug reported:
Ensure that you have a read-only image on a directory on your home (the
directory was not read only). A little lock appears on the image, but for
someone as my wife, that means nothing. Open the image with the default viewing
program. Rotate the image, the viewing program just rotates it for your viewing
pleasure. Close the program and the process of permanently rotating the image
fails silently.
Possible solutions:
- Refuse to rotate (agh!).
- On closing or moving to the next picture, make a pop up window saying that
image could not be saved (probable the easiest way to solve this bug, but not
very nice).
- On rotating show a pop up (same as before)
- On rotating show a "status bar" like that for remembering a password on
Firefox which is excellent explaining that the rotation operation will be lost
because the image can't be saved.
Alternative, add a button that should appear at that moment to try to make the
image writable. That would make a lovable GUI.
Thanks.
