Changing .jpg attributes in linux

[Rick069]

Is there anyway I can import .jpg files from a windows partition and not have them as read only? I've found out that I can copy them from the windows partition, but they still retain their read only attributes. any thing I can do to change the attributes after copying them over to linux so I can edit them?

Yes, you can do:

 

chmod u+w,g+w *.jpg

 

this will then reset user to write and group to write privileges. Of course, if the extension is JPG then change this, as Linux is case-sensitive.

Or select the files in Konqueror, right click and go to "Properties", then look at the "Permissions" tab.
