Podcasts are downloaded as 'Read Only'

[Chris Wilson]

Binary package hint: banshee

When my podcasts are downloaded in Banshee, the folder in which the files are stored is being marked as 'Read Only' by Banshee. This causes a problem when I want to sync the files to my Android smartphone as once the files are over, they cannot be opened (It actually crashes the music player). I can manually change the permissions of this folder, but they are reverted every time new files are downloaded.

I've tested this again, and the permission of the 'Podcasts' folder are not infact being reset. If I change the permission of downloaded files, then refresh the feed list and download more files, the permission of the original files will remain intact, and it is just the new files that are marked as read-only.

Confimed under daily banshee releases (1.9.0 series), marked as triaged for now. Thanks

sorry for double post, but according to upstream comment this issue is a duplicate of bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631987

Is this bug solved, or a workaround available?

Bug confirmed on Ubuntu 11.10, Banshee 2.2.0

Thanks a lot for reporting this, however since Banshee is due to be dropped from the default installation, this bug no longer constitutes a papercut.
