Scanner mode access denied error

[Daniel15]

When I click View -> Show Scanner to try and bulk rename files, all the options in the dialog are greyed out. I see an error in the log which seems related: "Cannot open file '/root/.config/easytag/scan_tag.mask': Permission denied". I tried a bind mount (-v /var/local/easytag:/root/.config/easytag:rw) but that didn't solve it. Any ideas?

I ended up using Kid3 instead, but I'd still be interested in figuring out what caused this issue.

Thanks for helping me out - I used to create those containers a few years ago, did a rework and didn't test all of them for funcitonality.

the permission problem is because your local user and the docker conatiner user and group ids differ.

But that leads me to a solution -> specifing the userids using an ENV it should be possible

if you would make your files read+writeable for others (chmod) it could have read those files.

I cloud overwrite the ids too, but I don't want to mess with other peoples files :)

I close this issue as soon as I have a fix -> I'll fix it in the baseimage for all my desktop containers
