AttrStamp and refreshing
Posted: 07 Mar 2022 11:18
Here is a simple script that I found yesterday that toggles the read-only attribute:
The script itself works fine, but there is an issue with refreshing related to it.
1. Make sure you have Auto-Refresh enabled: Tools | Configuration | Refresh, Icons, History | Auto-Refresh = True
2. Attach the script to a user button and enable the Attr column.
3. Select some file and press the user button you have created. Notice the file is now read-only.
4. Press Delete to delete it to the Recycle Bin.
5. Press Ctrl-Z to restore it. Notice the file is still read-only.
6. Select the same file and press the user button again. Notice the file is still displayed as read-only. This is not really true, the read-only attribute was successfully removed, but you need to manually refresh the list to see this (that is, you need to press F5).
Probably a bug that is related to AttrStamp. Tested on Win7, XY 22.90.0100
Also, a side question. I see that there are many "refreshing" commands:
Does #1001 cover all the other ones from this list? (So if you want to refresh "everything", you only need #1001, is it correct?)
Code: Select all

"Toggle Read-Only Attribute"
if (StrPos(Report('{Attr}', 1), 'r') < 0) {
AttrStamp('r', 1);
} else {
AttrStamp('r', 4);
}
