Re: Error renaming temporary file: Permission denied

["Bodnar, Jason" <jason shakabuku org>]

Careful reproducing this. I just noticed when I attempt to save changes and get this error the original file is deleted.

Interestingly, I previously had the files on a different NAS (Zyxel) and did not run into this problem. So, it must be something about the ReadyNAS and your QNAS.

Finally, I tried editing tags from the command line (specifically, setting the cover art) and it worked without any problems:

$ metaflac --import-picture-from=cover.jpg *.flac

so it's something specific to easytag or the library it uses for editing flac files.

I tried to reproduce here, easytag 2.4.3 *and* 2.5 running on a
CentOS7, the files are located on a remote QNAP NAS mounted locally
using cifs (through gvfs).

I see no problem while either renaming mp3 files or saving tags BUT I
definitely reproduce a similar issue while attempting to edit FLAC files:
Cannot write tag in file 'foo.flac'
Error opening file '/mnt/.../foo.flac': Operation not supported

And clearly, from strace, I see:
open("/mnt/.../foo.flac", O_RDWR) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)

EOPNOTSUPP is pretty clear: operation impossible on a remote file

I'm afraid it's a design limitation in either easytag or a library it
uses, although it does work for mp3 files - I didn't search why. Maybe
it should make a temporary local copy, edit it and push it back to the
remote location instead of failing like that.

As a workaround, I'd copy the FLAC files locally, edit them, push them
back to the NAS.

BTW, are the authors still here?
