Altap Salamander Support Forums

Hello Jan,

Thanks for your attention and prompt support.

If something else, more robust, shows up will let you know.

sorry, i mistyped "change attr" and typed "rename" instead.

* directory: yes, just tried on an empty directory and it froze for a while
* hidden / system sometimes, apparently does not have to do with readonly alone
* os = xp / sp 3
* regarding delays: when as25 freezes no progress dialog shows, it ...

I thought I did,

* You probably mean 1 minute. Did you notice some 60s delays?
as said, no, just one or two secs

* Are we talking about AS 2.52 beta 1?

yes,

* So when you select just one file (no other file is selected) and press Ctrl+F2 and remove the Read-only attribute, you notice the 2s ...

only with AS25 and removing read-only attr causes the issue

"Just uncheck the only checked option and press OK."

what do you mean?

2.
I just tried ctrl+f2 to remove archive bit and it works fast.

Hello

Has anyone noticed that AS25 (2.51, 2.52b1) perhaps older versions just hang a second or two each time you try to change file attributes of a file with the ctrl+f2 switch?

please note that these files are not in use. trying to change attributes with "attrib -r filename" is way faster than ...

Good idea, thanks!

I visited Czech for two days and kept noticing Salamander word on some shops (probably shoe shop).

any relationship between Salamander and Czech traditions or something?

Thanks for the reply.

I was aware of adding an external tool, but what I still lack is hotkey association. any other ideas?

Hello

Thanks,
