Wrong permissions on folder .flowblade #24

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
1. Delete the ~/.flowblade directory
2. Clone into a new folder and start flowblade
3. Try to add any content to a bin
4. Flowblade will ask you to tell it where to put the thumbnails to
5. It is not possible to choose any folder, since flowblade cannot write to 
~/.flowblade

Now you are stuck with an empty project and you cannot add content.

Workaround:
chmod -R a+rwx ~/.flowblade

I am aware this might be a problem with my setup and not flowblade. But maybe 
you want to check it out.

Version: 0.8
System: Linux (Arch)

Tried on dev (Ubuntu 12.04) system, Linux Mint 14 and Debian 6, and I'm unable 
to reproduce.

I didn't understand what step: 2.Clone into a new folder and start flowblade    
, meant. Clone what and where?

I'm leaving this open for awhile to see, if there's something I don't 
understand here.

With clone I meant: "hg clone 
https://janne.liljeblad@code.google.com/p/flowblade/"
On my system I had to manually change the permissions on the .flowblade folder. 
But it may be a problem with my system.

Okay, got the cloning part and tried the full procedure, but I'm still unable 
to reproduce. Since you are able to fix issue, and we got the fix displayed 
here, I'll leave open for further info.

Have you deleted the .flowblade folder before the cloning part? Because if it's 
already there, the permissions will be right. I guess.

I just tried it again. Yeah, I deleted before cloning, I'm unable to make this 
fail.

I don't think code can in this case differentiate between success and failure, 
it depends on which permissions you are using to run flowblade/what permissions 
are needed to create folders.

Okay. Sorry for the trouble. Seems like it is a problem on my part not on yours.

Close and change status.
