Re: changing read-only flag from within xcode



I got answer off-list:
"In the editor window in the upper right hand I have a lock icon. This allows you to change to read only or write with a single click.
To see the icon select from the View menu "Show Navigation Bar"."


indeed it's there bit it's very small

thanks for the answer
the way you propose I'm using currently
take a look at BBEdit or CodeWarrior
they do allow to change read-only flag and I found it's very convenient
(clearly 1 click is much better then
1. right click
2. moving mouse to the right item
3. command-I (since file is selected)
4. click on the permission menu
5. command-W to close info window
6. click again on xcode window (or command -tab) )


IMHO I think that XCode has usability problem not to allowing to change r/o

thanks again

Hi
is it possible to change file's permission mode from within the XCode?




You can change file permissions with the Info pane for the file which is two mouse clicks away: in XCode, CTRL-click the file and choose "Reveal in Finder" in the context menu, then in the Finder CTRL-click the file and choose Get Info - then change the permissions.
Alternatively use command chmod in the terminal.


IMHO, there are good reasons not to provide this feature from within any other applications -- since it is good usability style for an operating system not to provide many ways to achieve the same task. I rather recall only one possible method which is actually 2 mouse clicks away than possibly several ways which each are even more mouse clicks away.


Regards Andreas




I mean, if file is read-only xcode will ask me permission to change file's mode flag
currently xcode asks permission to edit the file
but after you save it it still has r/o flag



thanks
