Just so happens I have a test user. I logged out and then logged in |
| 26 |
with the test user. It did the same thing. I can say, I have never |
| 27 |
even tried to use gtkam as that user. I told it to save some pics to |
| 28 |
/home/dale2/Desktop and it saved them to /home/dale2/ again. It still |
| 29 |
ignores my settings. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I tried something else too. I have a separate partition for my |
| 32 |
backups. I changed the permissions for it and tried to save some pics |
| 33 |
to that, it still tries to save to /home/dale/ and even complains that |
| 34 |
they already exist, since they are their from the last time. So, saving |
| 35 |
to /backup doesn't work either. It still wants to save to /home/dale no |
| 36 |
matter what I do. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
So, since it does this as two different users, is this a program error? |
| 39 |
I'm going to google some more but not real sure what to look for. I'm |
| 40 |
also going to check the group file to see if something has been added |
| 41 |
there that I need to be a member of. I'm going to try a older version |
| 42 |
of gtkam too. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Any more ideas? |
