Making one folder in Linux writable via Samba
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP up vote

I have a massive collection of photos on my home server that I keep root the owner of so that it is not mistakenly overwritten, deleted, etc. Because I use Lightroom to manage the photos themselves, I want to make the Lightroom catalog file writable via my Windows PC but leave ALL THE OTHER files protected.
My samba entry:
[Pictures]
comment = Pictures
writable = no
printable = no
public = yes
create mode = 777
path = "/path/to/Pictures"
directory mode = 777
I've tried setting writable = yes and setting chown root:root --recursive * on all the files and folders within Pictures and I can still write to the folders...? Is what I am trying possible?
