Good to know. It seems like it might be useful, but I can not figure out why in a 4D environment. I suppose I am just being dense Regards Chuck On Wed, Sep 4, 2019 at 12:04 PM Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > > On a Mac from the UI you *can* lock a folder. > > The lock

On a Mac from the UI you *can* lock a folder. The lock restricts the folder during deletion (a warning message is presented), and this stops the folder from being written into. For a PC the equivalent would be Read only. NOTE: This is an **excellent** way to restrict browsers data storage.

What do you mean by locked. Locked means the file is in use by another application/ process. Do you really mean permission? I do not think you can lock a folder like a file except if you use permissions. Regards Chuck

Hi all, I’m wondering if someone has already a solution that can be applied to folder in v17 (NO R-release!!!) The parameters “locked” and “invisible” are of special interest. Thanks for any hints even a “RTFM” will be appreciated. Regards Jörg Knebel, M.Eng. - 4D Developer since 1991 TTT
