XP.. Ohh dear.. :)
As a side note.. MC is not tested on XP anymore. Most thing should still work on XP and program should start..

Do not assume that just because a file has the file attribute "readonly" it is protected.
Readonly is just a attribute and program can remove it they want.. Many programs removes readonly flags if they see it.
File attribute do not a replacement for real file security permissions.

And I "un-hide" it again, same way:

You mean with Windows property dialog or with the property windows for attribute that MC have. ?
I guess you mean the Windows one..


--- Quote from: mcuser on January 20, 2015, 20:20:33 ---Now, in c:\, I set the system attribute of some file to "on", and the color/background of the entry do NOT change = exactly the same behavior as in my first pc 1 hour ago; just the "original" system files in c:\ are red on yellow background, i.e. here in c:, not even the positive attribute change is displayed by the format.

Now, I close MC and reopen it, and NOW that file is red on yellow background (as are the other, "original" system files on c:), but now only!

As I said before.. RuleBased coloring is cached. So sometimes if file are change it will not get revalidated at once.
Thats why you can refresh the coloring.


--- Quote from: mcuser on January 20, 2015, 20:20:33 ---Now, I change back from "system" to not-system, and yes: This "negative" attribute change is NOT replicated: The entry stays red on yellow background, up to the next closing down MC and reopening it: Then, it's back to regular (black on white) again.

Now, I have replicated both phenomena from my first xp pc:
- positive attribute change is displayed, but not negative attribute change
- in c: parent/source/main folder, not even the positive attribute change is displayed
"not" meaning, in both cases, "not before you close down MC and reopen it again"

--- End quote ---
negative , positive ?? you mean set and unset of attribute.
As before.  cached..  But if you enable the "attribute" column you will see if the file item actually picks up the change.


--- Quote from: mcuser on January 20, 2015, 20:20:33 ---Now the original command is, MC.Explorer.RefreshColoringRules, but if I type this command into the MC command line and then press Enter, this refresh is NOT done, obviously because I don't understand how this MC command line works (since the respective ball command works fine).... or is it one of those command lines in which you cannot do much? ;-)

As I said before.. the Script command still can't be typed directly into the command line field. If you really want to type something to set them create a command and assign an alias..


--- Quote from: mcuser on January 20, 2015, 20:20:33 ---Thus: Configuration-User Defined Commands
There: Click on the folder symbol, for "Create new command"
Then: Command type: Multi-Script (I hope this is the right one, was not evident from looking into those; perhaps this can be done in a simpler way I didn't find)
Name: Refresh, Hotkey, Shift-Control-R, and in the field for the script lines, just the above command Mc.Explorer.RefreshColoringRules and nothing else; similar commands similarly.

--- End quote ---
As I also written before. You should create a command of CustomCommand type. not Multi-Script. Multi-Script is the advance full script engine. if you want variables and doing multiple things.

One think I wounding is why do you set/unset attributes so much.. what problem are you trying to solve. Maybe there is a better way to do that without having to change attributes of files all the time.
