--- Comment #7 from IWBR <iwannaber...@gmail.com> ---
Just a heads up. This is an issue in linux too. If you write some metadata to a
read-only file, digikam does not warn you, makes the changes to the database,
but not to the file. If you re-read the metadata from digikam, those changes
will revert.

In the console, I can see the following error: 

Digikam::MetaEngine::Private::printExiv2ExceptionError: Cannot save metadata
using Exiv2   (Error # 10 : 
/media/sshfs/retropie/media/usb2/Fotos/Fotos/2019-04-22 Aplec/P1230088.JPG:
Failed to open file (w+b): Permission denied (errno = 13)

But in the main interface, the problem goes unnoticed. I think this is
currently the only situation where the metadata between the database and the
pictures can be out of sync.

In my opinion, just showing a warning (e.g. "Changes could not be saved.") at
the progress bar at the bottom would be helpful for detecting these situations.
