modification of source file when using delegates for image conversion ?

Post by stargazer »

This is ImageMagick on Fedora 24, i.e. version 6.9.3.0-2.

The main use for me at the moment is to convert raw images from my digital camera to jpg or any other format I need, apply transformations etc...

For some reason the command convert seems to modify the time stamp of the source data (RAF file in this case). If I do a "ls -l" on the RAF file after the convert command it clearly shows the current time but not the original date it was taken.

Even worse - when I set the RAF file to read-only for the user, the conversion is successful but the source file disappears !

What is wrong here ? Do others observe the same behaviour ? IMHO it neither should modify timestamps nor delete files that are read-only !

Behaviour is indenpendent of using ufraw or dcraw as converter.

ahh right - this seems to have been a bug indeed... ==> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3533 ... e-modified
It seems to be fixed in 6.9.3-5 and 7.0.0-0

Sorry for the duplicate...
