[Bug 1287594] Re: Import fail with error message about photo library not being writeable

 

Hello,

Same than Serguei for me, the folder .cache/shotwell had bad permissions
:

d---rwxrwx   2 amael amael 4,0K juil.  6  2013 shotwell/

The timestamp is over two years ago so it might be a very old bug that left over the folder in this state.
Everything works now.

** Changed in: shotwell (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

Title:
  Import fail with error message about photo library not being writeable

Status in shotwell package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After importing from folder and using the option to copy the photos I
  get the following dialog:

      17 photos failed to import because the photo library folder was
  not writable

  Following a list of 17 paths pointing to where the images should have
  been stored.

  When closing the dialog noting is showing up, as if they failed to
  import, which is what the dialog said.

  However the photos were actually copied to the location the error dialog claimed not to be writable.
  Only the database was not updated.

  The console show no error messages.
