Attributes

Actions >  Attributes

On the Actions menu, the Attributes command modifies various operating system attributes of the selected files and folders.

For Windows file systems, the DOS attributes (Read-only, Hidden or Archive) are modified.  You cannot modify the System attribute.

For Unix file systems, the owner and group access permissions are modified.

If a folder is selected, its attributes are modified but not those of its contents.  To modify the attributes of folder contents, you need to expand the folder and select the contents.

The check boxes initially show the current state of the selected items.  If a box is unchecked, then that attribute is disabled on all the selected files.  If a box is checked, that attribute is enabled on all the selected.  A gray checked box indicates that some files have the attribute and others don't.

Uncheck a box to clear that attribute from all selected files, or check it to set the attribute.
