I have taken photos off a Compact Flash card, modified them in Gimp and need to get them back onto the card to take to a photo processor. I am trying to drag the photos back into the card but am denied. I am logged in as mel. The file owner is listed as mel. However, the bottom of the permissions window reads "You are not the owner, so you can't change these permissions" Owner has Read, Write, and Execute permissions. I tried using chmod to change permissions as mel and as root to see if it would have an effect but the permissions did not change. What am I missing here? Thanks for a great list. Bradley
