The file must be overwrited??marsh wrote:If an image's property is set to hidden, it cannot be overwritten using 'save' <ctrl +s>. The warning dialog "Error creating the file xyz.gif" is shown.
So the file must be hidden after that, right?When the same image is rotated clockwise with the browser's toolbar button, the hidden attribute is not preserved.
Yes, because of the unexplained error dialog. The 'read-only' attribute is a better way of protecting files (where a friendly dialog is shown at overwriting attempts). I think the 'hidden' attribute in generally useless, and I only tried it because of some other visotor's comment.xnview wrote:The file must be overwrited??marsh wrote:If an image's property is set to hidden, it cannot be overwritten using 'save' <ctrl +s>.

Preserving original attribute would be better. Maybe a small number of users would use this as yet another means of organizing files in same folder.xnview wrote:So the file must be hidden after that, right?When the same image is rotated clockwise with the browser's toolbar button, the hidden attribute is not preserved.
