Set protection bits
Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2018 2:31 am
I was doing some testing of setting a file's protection bits.
Workbench does not set the bits for the .info file when it does for the file. As an example, if you were backing up a drawer and setting the Archive bit to show the file was backed up, wouldn't you also do the .info file (so don't lose any changed tooltypes). You would think the program would do it for you, so why doesn't Workbench?
Same if you remove the Delete bit, Workbench doesn't apply it to the .info. Why not? I would hate to lose an icon (if deleted with a file browser) with a bunch of editted tooltypes (like MultiView/MultiEdit).
In my program Workbench Explorer I have been setting the .info to match it's owner. Yes or no?
