"You cannot rotate this image..."
Posted by JT in VN on March 20th, 2008


A user X on our domain can not rotate a thumbnail from our file server.

The user X has full control permission to this file.

The owner of the file is user X.

The administrator account can successfully rotate.

Why can't the user rotate the thumbnail? The message comes up "You cannot
rotate this image. The file might be in use or open in another program, or
the file or folder might be read-only"

How about the thumbs.db file in the same folder?

What about the thumb.db?

The thumb.db is the file where all the thumbnails are stored. Thumbnails are
collected from the images into the thumb.db (hidden file).

More than likely the thumb.db is not accessible to the user. You can delete
it and it would recreate the thumbnails with that users permissions.
