Gilles,  I just checked my patch in #59, it still applies and compiles
with current svn. 
However, it does not work anymore!
The reason seems to be that it is now first saving to 
a temporary file (why?) and then renamed!
At least that's how I interpret the output on the console:

digikam: Saving to :/home/ab/Pictures/AB/ijjakc.digikamtempfile.tmp (JPEG)
digikam: Dirty: /AB
digikam: Using LibJPEG quality compression value: 81
digikam: renaming to /home/ab/Pictures/AB/IMG_4658_.JPG
digikam: Dirty: /AB

Looking at the code, it seems to happen in 
  bool EditorWindow::moveFile()
So clearly something has changed (to address some other bug?) 

Of course, one could add a check in the moveFile operation,
but maybe this is too late already?

As the security of this bug is now bumped to grave (with which I fully agree!),
it should be really fixed as quickly as possible.
