Re: Read only attribute



Nice to know other got the problem too; it makes me feel less lonely. I hope 
glib gets what you need soon.

Hans, do you want small stuff to be discussed in the mailling list first or to 
be reported as "bug" directly? an example, when moving connector ends, the 
standard icon is a 4 way arrow which obscures completely the connector making 
the whole procedure a pain. is that to be discussed here or reported?

Cheers, Nadim.

PS: I'm quite happy to not have to implement another Dia just to make ASCII 
diagrams. Thanks for Dia.

Please, please, please,

Could the dev team _stop_ doing a backup and allow the modification of
"read only" files. I understand that this is a unix file attribute
problem and not a Dia problem (that's why I haven't reported it as a bug)
but applications must also play the game and not change file names for
files that are marked read only.

At least display some message and allow the user to cancel.

There already is a bug report
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133324

I'm not going to fix it before we dependend on a GLib version
providing g_access()
