How do I prevent Qumagie from modifying files? The Qumagie modifies files when I add tags and comments. How can I prevent this for a specific folder? I understand this means I won’t be able to add tags.
You remove the folder as a media item for QMagie. And I’d expect that it would modify the files when you add a tag. How else could the tag be added? It’s not going to modify files that you don’t touch with tags.
Hi! No! Goal: Images should be displayed in the Qumagie, but modification of image files is prohibited.. Suggested solution: this can be achieved by making the folder read-only for the Qumagie. Question: how do I do this? How do I set the folder to read-only for the Qumagie? There may be another solution. Can anyone suggest one?
I don’t understand what your issue is. If you add a tag or a comment to an image - it gets modified - the info is added to the image’s metadata. If you don’t want to alter the image then don’t tag or comment it. Images in a folder that don’t get tagged or commented don’t get modified.
There are some photos that can’t be changed. They’re kept separate. There shouldn’t be any “oh, I forgot” messages. You can’t add comments, you can’t add tags, you can’t change anything. There’s always a write-protection policy for a specific user for that purpose. If the QuMagie had been running under a non-admin user, there wouldn’t have been any problems. This is standard practice when running applications under non-admin user accounts. But it’s not the case here.
Thank you for your feedback!
I will convey this request to the internal team for evaluation. Thanks!
