Marking as Invalid per upstream's comment: paolo borelli [gedit developer] 2009-01-03 12:06:07 UTC the use case seems a bit too specific to me, especially since we support full undo and we show a warning if there were modifications when a file is closed.
Such functionality can be easily done with a pliugin that adds a menu item to toggle the editability of a file. ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131847 Title: gedit should be able to set files to read-only To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/131847/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
