There is a file in my /opt/local/include
folder on OSX that I wish to edit.
This is currently set to 'Read only'. So, to allow me to edit, I have selected get info
, then under sharing and permissions
I have added myself, and given me the privileges Read and write
. However, I now open the file and am still unable to save it.
What do I need to do to allow me to edit and save this file?
Yes, changing the folder permissions did the trick. How bizarre. – Bill Cheatham – 2011-02-07T22:09:16.450
@Bill It's actually a reasonable way to handle saving files, permissions aside. If saving fails halfway through writing the file, you'll have neither the old nor the new data anymore otherwise. – Daniel Beck – 2011-02-07T22:12:06.117
