"Load from file under cursor" fails for files excl

[MarcinW]

The problem can be reproduced for files like pagefile.sys or hiberfil.sys, that are opened for exclusive access by the operating system (so we can't view them with Lister).

Test 1:
1) go to any "normal" file, like "c:\Program Files\Total Commander\TOTALCMD.EXE"
2) launch "Files -> Change Attributes"
3) press "From active panel (source) (1)" button
4) date, time and attributes don't change - this is as expected, they just have been read from the same file again

Test 2 a:
1) go to "c:\pagefile.sys"
2) launch "Files -> Change Attributes"
3) press "From active panel (source) (1)" button
4) date and time don't change, but all the attributes are cleared (although pagefile.sys has AHS set)

Test 2 b:
1) go to "c:\pagefile.sys"
2) press Tab and go to any file
3) launch "Files -> Change Attributes"
4) press "From target (2)" button
5) date and time are set as in "c:\pagefile.sys", but all the attributes are cleared (although pagefile.sys has AHS set)

Confirmed, thanks.

The problem was that c:\pagefile.sys cannot be opened for reading, so GetFileAttributes cannot be called since it needs an open file handle. I will use FindFirstFile if I cannot open the file.

Great! The example with pagefile.sys was a bit artificial, but the same problem could occur also for any other file, when exclusively opened by any application.

This should be fixed now in beta 6, please test it!

Fixed, thanks!
