#21 impossible to save modified files on fat32 from linux

[Anonymous]

Im am using transcriber (1.5.1) On linux (xubuntu), but my files are on a fat32 partition.
I reinstalled last week, and now transcriber refuses to save my files on fat32, throwing the following error messsage

error copying "/media/sda5/Izibox/Izitexts/nar/B060115nar02.trs" to "/media/sda5/Izibox/Izitexts/nar/B060115nar02.trs~": not owner

while executing
"file copy -force -- $name "$name$v(backup,ext)""
(procedure "SaveTrans" line 43)

"invoke_from_bind .menu.item1 2"
(command bound to event)

I suspect that transcriber checks for ownership instead of write permissions. FAT32 does not know ownership, hence the error. I can create files in the directory by other means (e,g, touch test.txt), so there is no problem on this side.

Suggestion: Abolish the ownership test, transcriber worked well without that before.
