[Digikam-users] DigiKam and ACL

[Fabien]

Hello,

You posted this email a few weeks ago, I don't know if you found some 
solutions...

I did some tests about that because I also need to allow access to the 
digikam albums for several users...

Yes, it looks like a good solution...

I did some tests and it looks fine.
New albums inherit extended rights and added files have the correct 
permissions...

Could you give us more details about your configuration (digikam 
version, kde version, linux distribution, file system) ?

Could you also send the results of getfact on directories and files you 
have ?

Thanks.
