R/O flag on CD and packing files

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

R/O flag on CD and packing files

Post by *wanderer »

When a file is being copied from a CD to the HD, the R/O flag of the files is reset. This does not happen in case of packing files directly from CD to a zip in the HD.

It's currently not planned to change this, sorry. Most external packers behave this way, so it would be strange if the internal zip packer would behave differently...

I thought this is a TC feature and not a packer one. After all, it could be turned on/off with an INI setting, like it's being done when copying files from HD to HD. Anyway, i hope you decide to change it in the future. It's a little irritating to have to first copy all files from the CD to HD just to clear the R/O flags and then zip them. Perhaps a "clear R/O flags" option in the packing dialog would be even better (if possible).
