- Document with !Access
-
- !Access is just a small tool that allows you to change the access attributes
- of files in RISC OS. The way in which it differs from the Filer Access
- command is that !Access sets the specified attributes using recursion in the
- directory-trees. This means that an entire directory -including all its
- subdirectories (and their subdirectories, and so on...)- and its files can be
- set with certain access attributes in one go!
-
- I wrote the little program just because I found it very hard each time I
- wanted to clear a directory with locked files and subdirs, I had to open the
- subdirs one by one and change their attributes in the normal way (using the
- filer) so I could finally delete them.
-
- To change access attributes with !Access, first install the program on the
- iconbar (by double-clicking on its icon in a filer), and subsequently drag
- any selection from a filer onto the !Access icon on the iconbar.
- To specify which attributes must be set, click Menu over the !Access icon
- on the iconbar, and open the 'Mode' submenu-window from the main menu. In
- this window, each access mode can be toggled on or off by clicking on its
- option-icon.
-
- !Access is public domain, but please don't modify the files contained within
- the !Access application directory.
