That will not make any difference. A standard user still doesn't have write access to that location. As far as I know, even with other products like Qt, GTK, Delphi which includes demos and the system is installed in a multi-user environment. Then if you want to compile and run a demo, you first have to copy the demo source directory to a location you have read/write access, then compile and run it from that new location. Maybe Lazarus IDE should clearly notify the user that on opening such a read-only project, that the location is indeed read-only, and the demo needs to be copied to a new location first. Maybe Lazarus IDE could do the copying as well, but personally I think that is too much spoon feeding. Copying a directory is something simple which any developer should know how to do. This should apply for all multi-user systems: Windows, Linux, FreeBSD etc. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
