Clearing read only flag

[rajah]

Hi Eran/others,

Is it possible to clear the read-only flag on a file through Codelite?
I looked at the menu options and dont find it (unless I missed it).
I am opening the file in explorer to do it each time.
It would be nice if I can right click the file in the workspace view
and over ride the read only flag.

Thanks,
Rajah

You should be able to save the file even if in read-only mode. CodeLite will prompt you for this (whether to continue or not), does it not working for you?

Hi Eran,

yes, it prompts me, but fails to save the changes. I have to go to
explorer and uncheck read only flag. The files are set to read only
by the version control software (MKS).

Hi Eran,

Did you get a chance to reproduce this at your end?
I tried it on a couple of PCs and I get the same prompt
"Failed to clear read-only flag".
I am using 2128 on Win XP SP2 from the distribution.

BTW, the files I am trying to over ride the readonly
flag are files 'locked' by version control software (MKS).
