One annoying thing!
An example:
If I select 100 images to perform a batch operation & all images are write protected, then 100 error messages pops up, one after the other.
And if I want to remove the write protection on them, I have to do so on all images one by one = 100 times.
If I do the same thing in In Windows, it can be done with a few mouse clicks: select, right click, properties, untag write protection. Done
Annoying batch behaviour!

Hello ! Welcome aboard !
• XnView is not a file manager, thus the “Change attributes” function is missing.
• I think that an extra INI entry could solve the issue, something like :
Pierre, Please ? 
• Waiting for that, you could change the attributes as one go for a bunch of selected files…
…like I do i.e. in Total Commander, where it's pretty easy…
Kind regards,

OverrideReadOnly= flag
0 : Disabled (no change, displays the boring message, default).
1 : Doesn't display the overwrite message in batch operations more than only once.
2 : Doesn't display the overwrite message in any case.

Ok!
It´s not a major problem, but in my opinion, XnView IS a file manager (it manages images=files. or am I wrong here
I don´t se any reason to have one "popup window" for every selected file.
Why not ONE single "Error: Selected Images are write protected" message.
I think ACDSee handles things like this quite well.
(I uninstalled my ACDSee 4 when I found XnView)
Anyway, I really like XnView for it´s speed.
Keep up the good work.

No, you're not wrong, I totally agree. Not that I've encountered this yet but XnView should be able to handle this better. I.e. a button with "no to all" or "yes to all".BaldrickTheGreat wrote: It´s not a major problem, but in my opinion, XnView IS a file manager (it manages images=files. or am I wrong here

In Explorer, the way of doing this is to hold shift when you click. Not to say it's the best method, a button or checkbox is much friendlier. A flag would be overly cryptic for something this common.
Related to the topic, the way it totally bails if you try to copy on top of a read-only image is pretty annoying, since it can just cut out in the middle of a mass file copy and you have to figure out where to restart it.
