[Digikam-devel] [digikam] [Bug 366036] Sidecar file is not written when image is symlink to write-protected directory

[Simon Frei]

Regarding the behaviour: Digikam does treat symlinks like "real files", 
e.g. every symlink has its own set of tags in the database. In my 
opinion it would make more sense to treat them as links internally too. 
So any operation on the link in the database is actually done on the 
original (operations on the image itself are anyway always on the original).
