Rick069 Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 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?

ianw1974 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Or select the files in Konqueror, right click and go to "Properties", then look at the "Permissions" tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
