Bug ID: 360161
Summary: Cannot "send to" if current directory is not writeable
- should use temporary file location
Product: ksnapshot
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ase...@kde.org
Reporter: j...@keelhaul.me.uk
If KSnapshot is started in a directory which is not writeable by the current
user, it is not possible to use any of the "Send to" options to send the
screenshot to another application. Trying to do so gives an error dialogue:
KSnapshot was unable to save the image to
and messages on stderr:
ksnapshot(12038)/default KIO::SimpleJobPrivate::simpleJobInit: Invalid URL:
QUrl("")
ksnapshot(12038)/default KSnapshotObject::saveTo: KSnapshot was unable to save
the m_snapshot to QUrl("") type: "PNG"
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start KSnapshot in a directory that does not have write permission.
2. Click "Send To..." and then "Gewnview"
3. Observe error message as above.
This is the KSnapshot frameworks version ("ksnapshot 1.0.0"), current Git HEAD
= 4c10d80e8.
Suspect that the problem is in KSnapshot::urlToOpen(), where it should use
QDir::tempPath() as suggested in the API doc of
QTemporaryFile::QTemporaryFile(const QString & templateName).
