First let me say how much I love Slick Edit..... I use Eclipse when I have to, but Slick is my primary tool-of-choice.
Now, on to the question.
My application, like many others, generated a log/output file. I open this file in Slick when developing and debugging. Some times, Slick puts a lock on this file. I am not sure why or when this happens, but if it does, the application will not restart properly until I close the file. I cannot remove the file from the command line, either. Windows reports it as 'in use by another application'.
I'd like to use a macro or something to force this file (any file ending in .out would be ok) to be read-only, thinking that this might prevent any lock. I found the "read_only_mode_toggle" command, but I can't see where I can automatically trigger anything when a file gets opened.
Any suggestions? Any other options? My Slick version is 9.0.
Thanks
