modification of source file when using delegates for image conversion ?
Posted: 2016-11-14T19:03:03-07:00
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.
