Open some file in C:\Program files\... -- one that you do not have permission to modify but doesn't have the read-only attribute set either.
#1: Slick shows the file as RW, and allows you to edit.
Ooops ... I'm wrong on this one. Slick seems to get it right - I made this mistake due to #3.
#2: When you try to save the error dialog is pretty hard to read:
It lists the filename twice
The dialog is too narrow, making the long filename wrap.
The "Possible Causes" are bogus.
Slick should know if it failed when doing a backup file operation vs. the primary file.
Slick can look at the error code to tell the difference between access_denied, and sharing_violation ("another program has the file open").
#3: Slick lets you toggle between RW and RO freely - no dialogs, nothing - and nothing changes on the file (because Slick gets access_denied).
