File permissions question

[manusz]

I wonder if it is possible to tell if a file is Read Only or Read & Write enabled.
On a Mac this is a Permissions setting, when I recall correctly it is just called Lock on Windows systems.

I have been searching the documentation, settings, macros, advanced metadata stuff as well as scripts in the repository to no avail.

It is possible I am just overlooking something obvious, so any pointers in the right direction are highly appreciated!

There are scripts to set READ-ONLY but nothing obvious to display the R/W status of the file that I can see?
Maybe it could be added as a colour in the thumbnail-info for say the file name, or a means of selecting R/W status from a selection?

Yes, I have seen that script, but that is all I could find related to Read / Write status.
If there was a way to return the status in a variable I could use that in a user defined thumbnail, or perhaps even in a filter….

Try this as a custom thumb line. It will write a R if the file is read only

Code: Select all

%code result := iif(ImageItem.IsReadOnly, 'R', '') %/code

Thank you Hert, that works like a charm!
