Read-only attribute toggle

I find that I need to change the read-only attribute on a file quite a bit. It would really be nice to have a right-click menu item that does "toggle read-only" for the selected file(s).

You can already do this from properties tab. Select file you want to mark and use the checkbox read only to mark them as read only.

But there are two small things you should remember,
1) if you donot see anything in the properties tab then hit ctrl+space twice to see options there. Now you can change attributes and timestamps for all selected items.
2) Also, be aware that even though you see only one item in properties tab, the changes you make will apply to all selected items.
IMHO, these two things can be changed.
