Description nagashree 2005-06-17 07:39:27 UTC
When we try to save a file in a directory with no permission,
It gives an incorrect error message saying file does not exist.

It should say we have no permission to access the directory.

Steps:
1) Create a directory "test" through command mode as user X.
2) Login as user Y and create one OpenOffice document and try saving it under
"test" directory of user X.

Setting the target.
Comment 6 lohmaier 2010-03-18 15:07:26 UTC
As described, still with 3.2.0

Reproduce with:
1) mkdir readonly
2) chmod u-w readonly
3) Try to save a document to the "readonly" folder that just was created.

Result is the error message with "<path>/readonly/file.odt does not exist"

While this is true, the file doesn't exist, and the user is alerted that 
something went wrong trying to save (prio → P4), the message is misleading.
