[Samba] Windows XP Picture and Fax Viewer Rotate-Function does not work on Samba Shares
Hi there, I am facing a problem when rotating a picture with the Windows XP built in picture and fax viewer. Whenever I try to rotate a picture from a samba share the viewer application tells me that it is not able to save the file. Maybe there is some problem with filelocking as it seems to be kept open by the viewer while it writes the rotated version back to the same file. Am I doing something wrong or is there a solution. Turning off op-locking in Windows XP does not work. Playing around with samba file locking options neither worked. My samba version is 2.2.5 running on linux (kernel 2.4.21). Please reply directly to my address as I am not subscribed to this list. Deti
