| | Change Picture folder read only attribute Every time I change the picture folder attribute from read only to no attributes it automatically changes back to read only. How can I change it permanently so I can edit the pictures? Thanks for the help. Lenny |

| | Re: Change Picture folder read only attribute Lenny, Folders are not read only. The box is colored in as in "not relevant", the box is not 'checked' as it would be if the item was 'read only'. Pay no attention to the read only box on a directory/folder, it does not apply. You may have problems with ownership or permissions on the folder/files in question. More information is needed if you would like more assistance. (path and name of the picture file you are trying to edit, the program you are using, the error message you are receiving would all be helpfull).

No. It does it for empty folders as well. The grey tick is there so that you can deselect it, in order to make the contents lose the read-only attribute, if any of those files have that attribute. You can also make it solid black, to do the opposite. They certainly could have designed it to be less confusing - maybe some tooltips at least. ss. |
