Description of problem: I have two camera's from which I regularly download pictures onto my desktop PC (mageia 6 fully updated, Plasma) using its USB cable. The files from the Olympus E500 come always as Read-Write enabled for the owner. The ones from the Nikon Coolpix 2900 used to do the same until somewhere between 16 jan. 2019 and 4 apr 2019. The ones from 16 jan are still stored on the PC as read/write, the ones from 4 april and beyond are stored ad read-only. The files on the camera itself are seen as read-only now. I didn't ever checked that before - no reason to do that. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Summary: Change is permissions of images downloaded from Nikon Coolpix 2900 => Change in permissions of images downloaded from Nikon Coolpix 2900
Hello Herman So, the Olympus E500 behaves as expected (read/write), but not the Nikon Coolpix 2900 (read-only). A few questions, please, to help assign this bug: * What File Manager? * Does it happen with other file managers? * Are you using a specific image program (Shotwell, Gwenview, Digikam, Rawtherapee etc) to download the images? * If you do, does it happen with different image programs? * Do you know if it happens for Mageia 7? * When the Nikon Coolpix 2900 is connected, and you see its files directly, you say they are shown (and copied) read-only. For the Olympus E500, are images on the camera *shown* read/write (as well as being copied thus, which you say)? * Is there any way the Nikon can be configured read-only? TIA

File manager: dolphin Tried caja, but I cann't make it using map camera: Never did before, tried gwenview now: same result read-only files Will try Mageia 7 later Olympus E500 shows files read-write Only option on Nikon for memory card is to format it, and that I have certainly not done.
Thanks for this info: a Plasma affair? It would be nice to know whether this is desktop dependant, since they do I think handle removable devices in their own way. But it may be deeper than that: I wonder whether there was a kernel change between mid Jan and April. Cross-checks with other environments might give a pointer. Assigning initially to the KDE team; re-assign as you see fit.

Tested on MGA7 - Xfce: thunar reports files in Nikon as read/write for owner root and copies files as read-write for user which performs the copy operation.
Thank you for this comparative 'good' test. Perhaps there were Plasma updates in the spring which caused the behaviour change.
