Hi,

I would like to give read- (without write-) access for some users to my Albums Library Folder with digikam, because the users could use the keywords- and datesorting of digikam. When I start digikam for the first time (as a user with read-only access to the library) the "Album Library Path"-Window pops up and asks me for the path to the "Albums Library Folder". At this point digikam won't accept a path with read-only access.

I use this workaround at the moment: In the first startup-dialog I choose a path with write-access (for example in my home-folder). After the startup of digikam I change the path in "Settings->Configure digikam->Albums->Album Library Path" to the path with read-only access. At this point digikam doesn't check the permissons of the path, obviously. The user with read-only access can now browse my Library by albums, dates or keywords (without defining new searches...).

I would suggest to remove the permissons-check of the path during the first start of digikam.

Thanks
