Hi and Happy New Year to everyone
Over the break, we've been working on a media manager, which lets us create, delete, move and copy files on our OS X server, using a web interface. We've hit a snag, can't find a solution and wondered if anyone has been able to resolve it. Under OS X (and, from reading, all UNIX-based file systems) new folders are created with the group rights set to read only. Is there a way to change this using 4D (or A4D), or, even better, alter the default filesystem behaviour?
Thanks and regards Mark Howells
Mark,
It can be done from 4D, but I believe it will require a plugin. You can have 4D or Active4D write an executable shell script that will change the permissions on the new folder. The plugin will run the script. Alternatively you could use Applescript, but again you'll need a plugin. Refer to the plugins page at www.4dtoday.com to see what is available.
