I discover that I usually can not take away recordsdata on my primary (hfs) exterior drive through Preview. I can take away them through a Finder window, and I can take away then from Terminal .. simply not Preview!
In the event that they’re on my primary drive (the inner SSD on my Mac Mini), I can take away them through Preview with none drawback.
Here is the directories (and safety flags) for one file in query (foo.jpg):
ls -l -d / /Volumes/ss /Volumes/ss/pics /Volumes/ss/pics/misc drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 640 Oct 12 2022 / drwxrwxr-x+ 97 root wheel 3366 Jul 26 22:49 /Volumes/ss drwxrwxr-x 33 sieler workers 1122 Jul 27 21:17 /Volumes/ss/pics drwxrwxr-x 13 sieler workers 442 Jul 27 21:24 /Volumes/ss/pics/misc -rw-r--r-- 1 sieler workers 3035137 Jul 19 12:40 foo.jpg Makes an attempt to take away through Previe (e.g., right-click, choose ‘Transfer to Trash’; or left click on and hit command-backspace) get a popup:
You would not have permission to transfer the file "foo.jpg" to the trash. What’s incorrect with Preview? (And, can I repair it?)
My exterior drive is: Mac OS Prolonged (Journaled) I am on Monterey (12.6.1)
Replace: Oddly, Preview will let me rotate them and save them again in place, which successfully removes (and recreates) them, so it HAS entry!
And, since I can Finder-remove, or Terminal/rm-remove, I clearly have the rights to take away the file (and to entry the .Trash folder).
(Sure, the overwhelming majority of different recordsdata on the drive are Preview detachable.)
thanks!
