When a file is read-only, and I attempt to modify it I get: (Protect Read Only Mode is ON)
---------------------------
SlickEdit Pro
---------------------------
This command is not allowed in read only mode
---------------------------
OK CANCEL "Change RW"
---------------------------
#1: What is the difference between OK and CANCEL here?
#2: if I click "Change RW", I get a second dialog
C:\blah\blah\blah.c is read only
Do you wish to:
o checkout
o get latest
o make writable
o save as new
2.1 Can I suppress this second dialog and keep Protect Read Only Mode ON?
2.2 Why is "Save as new" disabled?
NOTE: This is a file that is not part of a project or workspace. Just any random read-only file.
BUG #1: If I turn off version control for the current project, then do as above and select "Checkout", I get this error:
---------------------------
SlickEdit Pro
---------------------------
Command 'lock' not available
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
BUG #2: Repro bug #1 by typing a letter into a read-only file.
1. That is, load a readonly file
2. type a letter
3. Click on the ChangeRW button
4. Select "Checkout" and click OK
5. Click OK on "Command Lock Not Available"
And the letter is inserted into the read-only file.
This violates my "Protect Read Only Mode" setting
BUG #3: Follow on to #2: Steps
1. Repro bug #2
2. In the same file type another letter
3. Click on the ChangeRW button
4. Select "Checkout" and click OK
5. Click OK on "Command Lock Not Available"
Now I get this dialog
Another Application has modified the following file:
C:\blah\blah\blah.c
Do you wish to reload it?
yes/all/no/diff
[X] Always reload files without prompting.
But of course, nobody else modified the buffer.
You don't even need to switch away from Slick for this one.
Bug #4: That checkbox is checked, so why is it asking me then?
Shouldn't that checkbox being checked suppress this particular dialog?
