[Digikam-users] Re: default file permission for imported pictures

[Andrew Goodbody]

I assume that the permissions are a result of your account default 
umask. AFAIK digikam has not setting to set permissions of files, that 
is all left to the file system. So you need to work with the file system 
to achieve what you want. You could do this by changing your umask but 
that would affect all files you create and be a security risk. If you 
look at http://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/AUnix1/FilePermissions.htm 
especially the section on ACLs which could allow you to set the 
directories where you store your photos to behave how you want, 
depending on how your distribution is set up for ACLs or not.
