Bug Description
If one tries to open/edit an SVG file that one does not have write access to, Inkscape will not complain, and will happily ignore your requests to "Save" the file.
I just lost about 3 hours of work on a file because Inkscape didn't warn me that it couldn't overwrite/save the file.
I'm on version: "Inkscape 0.47pre0 r21549, built Jun 12 2009"
On Ubuntu 9.04 / 64bit.
To post a comment you must log in.
it is not easy to check if a particular file is writable or not.
Not only there are the file permissions but also OS user access rules might come into account.
However I thought this issue is fixed already.
How comes that you dont have write permissions? Is the file write protectetec or is your user rights not enough to write to this file?
On which Os are you working?
Please could you also check the Inkscape0.47pre2?
thanks, Adib.
