[Digikam-users] can't overwrite photo file

[Gandalf Lechner]

Hi Joachim,

it's good to finally here from someone else experiencing this problem ;-) - I 
already thought it was a problem with my computer. The bug report can be found 
at 

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206272

please add your information there.

Best regards,
Gandalf
