Hello.
I'm switching to Mac. I copied all my projects on a brand new external hard drive, and they are all "read only". To be precise :the livesets themselves are not locked; the project folders are... If I drag a liveset out of its project folder, I can modify it... But impossible to save it into its project folder.
The strange thing is that I cannot unlock the folders : I tried to change the ownership and permissions on the Mac, but it does not work. I tried from the console things like chmod +w ... I did this as root and got a message saying that I have not enough rights.
Back to WinXP, if I uncheck the "readonly" status, click on "apply" and "OK", this does nothing neither : the file is still seen as "read only"...
It happens only with live folders, not on other files from other applications....
I could not find any reference about this kind of problem on the forums. Any idea to help ?
Migration from XP to MacOSX and file ownership problem
I eventually solved the problem simply by duplicating the folders : the duplicated versions are read-write and OK on both the Mac and Windows...
Stupid problem, crazy solution
