From: "Ota, Takaaki" <Takaaki.Ota <at> am.sony.com> To: <bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org> Subject: 25.0.91; Can't write read only file on w32 Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2016 08:44:02 -0800
When a file is read only on w32 platform I used to be able to write a file by toggling the buffer's read-only-mode state and answering yes to this question "File memo is write-protected; try to save anyway? (yes or no)" but now the writing fails by an error message "Opening output file: Permission denied, c:/d/ota/memo" It still works on Linux platform. Is this a new feature/policy on w32 platform or a bug? It is certainly inconvenient. -Tak In GNU Emacs 25.0.91.2 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2016-02-17 built on TAK-SVZ131190X Windowing system distributor 'Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601 Configured using: 'configure --prefix=/c/emacs/emacs-25.0.91 --enable-locallisppath=/c/emacs/site-lisp' Configured features: SOUND NOTIFY ACL TOOLKIT_SCROLL_BARS Important settings: value of $LANG: ENU locale-coding-system: euc-jp-unix Major mode: Summary Minor modes in effect: auto-image-file-mode: t recentf-mode: t display-time-mode: t tooltip-mode: t global-eldoc-mode: t electric-indent-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t auto-composition-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t buffer-read-only: t size-indication-mode: t column-number-mode: t Recent messages: Checking 70 files in c:/emacs/emacs-25.0.91/share/emacs/25.0.91/lisp/erc...
