Attribute setting

Just imagine. You select a number of files, open attributes window, set attributes (w/plugins) and press OK... And on EACH file w/o write permission you see a question "Attribute not set. Continue? Y/N".

Is it possible to add a choice All to dialog?
"Attribute not set. Continue? Yes/All/No".

Interesting.

I tried to set/unset attributes (and other values via plugins) for files hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys and TC doesn't show any kind of message. TC simply doesn't change these attributes/values.
For remote files (on FTP) TC once shows message
---------------------------
Total Commander
---------------------------
Cannot change attributes of remote files!
---------------------------
ОК
---------------------------
Different behaviour if try to set user permissions to few selected files.
Sometimes TC shows dialog
---------------------------
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\_tc\meta_orig.xml
---------------------------
Error setting the following attribute:
sparse

Continue?
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------
only once, sometimes - on several files.
I'll try to discover it.

Maybe not all attributes and plugins give such result.
I mean when I set/remove attribute "Compressed" I get this trouble.
Today I've tested plugin "Creation Date" on write-protected files, also asks on every file.
And if you try to set two or more attributes (using plugins), nasty window occurs on every attribute for every file.

So, as I wrote in 1st post, you should set attributes using plugins to see this.
