IOerror if source files are not writable by sigal user

[derpeter]

I updated sigal to 0.9.2 from 0.7. Since the update sigal crashes during build process by accessing (probably modifying?) the image files copied to the build dir if the original file is not writable by the user running sigal. (see log below). This has not happened with the old version. As these files are copied by sigal, sigal could alter the file rights during the copy process to make sure it will not fail later in the process.

The obvious quickfix is fixing the permission in the source directory.

Hi @derpeter ,
Sorry for the lack of answer, did you find a solution for your issue ?

[derpeter]

Hi @saimn
Yes, I just fixed the filepermissions. I just wanted to report this as a bug. Sigal shut not crash but report the permission problem.

[saimn]

Ok, I agree with you, but from the traceback I don't understand what happened: is #my image#.jpg the real filename of your file ? (With the # it looks like a temp file generated by some software). The error happens during the copy, so it seems sigal has not the right to copy to your dest path, or I am missing something ?
