Read-only files

[mtik00]

This has to be a simple thing...  I just can't find it.

How can I clear the read-only flag on a file from Code::Blocks?  I'm using Code::Block in a MS Windows environment.

With other IDE's, I can either clear it manually through right-clicking something, or get a prompt when I try to change it (preferred).  This works great with our source code control system (ClearCase) as it just hijacks the files and they're really easy to find.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

This feature is not implemented in the core as it depends heavily on the platform you are running C::B on. However - there are two possibilities:
1.) Try the ShellExtensions plugin. This provides the functionality you are asking for
2.) Use the (Windows) explorer to clean the ReadOnly flag. I setup the explorer as tool to do so. Using macros it starts up in the path where the file is.
