Newbie question about file attributes

[dthomas]

I'm brand new to TC and I love it. I just registered it.

I'd like to create a button on the tool bar that removes the read-only attribute from the selected file(s). I know I can do this through the File Attributes dialog, but I was hoping for a one-click solution, since I do this on a fairly regular basis (it's a long story ).

I've looked through the help and FAQs, and searched this board, but I haven't found anything that would help.

I was thinking that if this operation isn't directly supported, maybe there's some command that would let me run a batch file once for each selected file, or something like that? I'm a programmer, so if there's technically a way to do this, I'd be willing to try it!

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried to just put the command: "attrib"
And in parameters: "-r"

Then after selecting some files the operation will be done just for the files.

You can also add "?" as the first parameter i.e.: "? -r" - then you will be prompted for accepting the parameter "-r" or you will be able to change it for other one.

Get lst2multi from http://clubtotal.free.fr/tc_tools.html , add the lst2mlt.exe to TC's Button Bar, change the Parameters field to

Code: Select all

/X:attrib /B:-r /L:"%L"

. Then just select the desired files and press the button.
