So I have nautilus-image-converter installed, and prior to Hardy it worked great. Ever since I upgraded I get "permission denied" errors when attempting to resize or rotate pictures, despite owning the directory and files I'm attempting to edit.

Does anyone have a possible explanation for this? I've already tried completely removing it and reinstalling which didn't help.

Thanks!

You own them, but do you also have write permission to the files or are they read-only?

EDIT/ It's useful to install gnome-commander. It's a great two-pane file browser that displays file permissions and lets you change them, assuming you are the owner.

Owner (me): Read and write
Group (me): Read only
Others: Read Only

I'm having the same problem and I'm #$&%* disgusted. It's just as well, things were going too smooth for past couple days! Between stubborn Windows that Refuse to resize, and now this... It's a shame I only post when I'm so... ah, frustrated, cuz all things considered, I really love Ubuntu... But god to does it make me feel like destroying something. If I won the lottery today I'd smash every electronic device in my house, starting w/ my laptop. Hardly productive but dammit if it wouldn't be Satisfying!
