Problem with 'read only' WinUAE disks

[Merc]

I've had UAE set the readonly flag on files that I copy from read only disks (usually CD) onto the UAE hard disk... That's probably what you're seeing....  Try opening a shell and CD to the root of the drive with the readonly files, and
do a "protect #? +rw".  That should, with any luck, fix things up

Glad I could help  :-D
 
I've been meaning to mention this to the WinUAE guys for a while now, I think it only happens when you have a CD mounted on the Amiga side as a directory from the PC -- if you use IDEFix and uaescsi.device, with a proper AmigaOS dosdriver I think it works as it should..  Probably because the read-only flag gets checked off when you set up the CDROM in UAE, and it just filters the writable/deletable flags when files get copied.
