Update File Read-Only State [HippoEDIT Wiki]

This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong.

====== Update File Read-Only State ======
If an file is set on disc to //read-only// you can still modify an document by disabling File -> Read Only.

BUT the disabling of //Read-Only// in HippoEDIT does not change the //read-only// attribute of the file itself.
So the file is still //read-only//, even if you disable //File -> Read-Only// in Editor and modify the document.
That means you can't save the modified document to that current file name, you will be prompted with a //Save as...// -dialog.

That's because this //File-Attribute-Follows-Editor-Setting// is set to **false** by default, but you can modify **settings.xml** to change this:
<code xml> 
<General>
   <UpdateFileReadOnly>true</UpdateFileReadOnly>
</General>
</code>

__Awaited manner:__
If a file is r/o on disc and you disable //File -> Read Only// in the editor the r/o attribute of the file on disc is removed and you are able to save the document to that very file name.
