Yeah, editing the permissions doesn't seem to work for me in dired. If I start with -rw-r--r-- 1 larsi larsi 329K Aug 21 18:22 IMG_4478.JPG and press DEL after the final dash, it'll delete the dash and then say "Text is read only", leaving me with: -rw-r--r- 1 larsi larsi 329K Aug 21 18:22 IMG_4478.JPG And then I can't insert anything there, because it's now read-only. So something is wonky in the way wdired tries to make certain bits of the line read-only. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
