It would be nice to have a Change File Attribute task.

I vote for that as well!

Chuck

What attributes would you like to change? Readonly and hidden or?

Any feedback on this?

Hi,

I found this feature request in a dark place...
Today I wanted to copy a file and overwrite an other file.
The destiniation file to overwrite was read only and the task failed.

I did not find any tasks specific to change a file attribute like the ready only flag.
I know I can use:

(powershell) sp file.txt IsReadOnly $false
(command) cmd.exe /c attrib -r file.txt

Would be nice to have the ability to realy overwrite files if I want to, or to have a task setting/clearing the Read-Only flag and all the other attributes (Archive/System/Hidden).


But I managed to do it with the powershell task for now [6.2.2].

Regards,
Erik

The readonly flag has been fixed in this version:

We will create a Set attributes Task later.
