killerbot:
I was wondering with the latest changes wrt scintilla, the engine beneath our 'editor' tabs, which are files being opened.
Is the following quick to implement or modify.

When you open a read only file, you can not edit in CB, several editors allow editing and upon saving then tell it is read only, allowing you to force it to make readable, other sometimes ask you to force it writable at the moment of the first modification.

I think it would have added value to have this possibility in CB, so we don't need to leave CB to manually adjust the r/w flag.

Even when there are version control systems that make their files read only so you have to isse an explicit check out command, this still will have added value, I think.

Any comments, suggestions ?

Hi killerbot,

Any news on this feature request ?

I am asking because I was thinking about implementing it, but first would like to be aware of the current status (anyone working on it?, etc...)

oBFusCATed:
If I remember correctly Morten has done something related to ReadOnly files, I don't remember exactly what.
There was an old topic, where someone (Morten I think) had arguments against such feature.

@oBFusCATed:

I am talking to Morten about it already, thank you...

Jenna:
Just for the record, the file properties have a checkbox to set or unset the readonly status.
