Does the app has file write permission?

You can check app permissions: (from https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/6270602?hl=en

On your device, open the main Settings app Settings.
Tap Apps or Application Manager (depending on your device, this may look different).
Tap the app you want to review.
Tap Permissions. If a permission is turned off, the switch next to it will be gray.
You can consider turning permissions on to see if that resolves your issue. To turn a permission on, move the switch to the right until it turns green.
Try using the app again.

I assume that this is a permission issue similar to #61

Same here: No permission to delete a .jpg-file stored on SD-card.
Android Version: 8.0.0
Device: LG-G6H870
A Photo Manager Version: 0.7.2.181027
My setup definitely has write permission for "A Photo Manager", as requested from k3b

@GITMichaelK Thanks for feedback. Can you create a problem log file , put it in a zip-file and attach it to this ticket? Then i can analyse what is going on. On my android-7.1 it works.

Thanks @k3b, here some more detail:

• Starting "A Photo Map" it shows two photos taken and stored on SD-card.
• I mark one, click the Burger and delete: A message is shown
  `Write-Protected 'storage/3035-3532/DCIM/Camera/20181127_122839_HDR.jpg'
• I marked all items for the log, tried to delete again (same error message), then in Setting "Save Logcat". Attached the ZIP-file:
  PhotoMap.zip
  Hope, this was correct; in case not, please let me know ...
  In addition: I confirm, that the phone settings > Apps > Allowances (German: "Berechtigungen") is set to ON for A Photo Map.
  I figured such issues (write protection, not allowed ...) with files on SD-card also using other apps and would appreciate, if you could provide the result of your analyse and may be some general recommendation?
  Thanks a lot!

@k3b,
today I digged a bit deeper into your comment

Android-6/CM13 rooted: How can I grant write&delete access ? #80

that you have added here.
As described, actually with my ANDROID 8.0 phone is not possible to delete files on SD-card

Write-Protected 'storage/3035-3532/DCIM/Camera/20181127_122839_HDR.jpg

My File-Explorer is called Amaze and can be found in F-Droid. Using Amaze, I can delete this or other files on SD-card.
May be, this can give a hint.
