There's no event (documented) which is sent when file's read-only status changes. I think fs support should inform about such changes as well - the GUI/view of the file may need to update itself.
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
I add my vote. In support it would be much better to listen for such a change, then always checking the file is [read-only], which is now very cumbersome, the handling [read-only] property. -> (issue #24462).
Set target milestone to TBD
I supose that FileChangeListener can`t be extended because of backward compatibility, so fileChange can be fired with passed FileChangeEvent with additional method.
That's a question for Yarda.
Let's use FileAttributeEvent for that purpose. If readonly status changes fire "readOnly" attribute change.
It would be "nice to have" such feature, but I think 4.0 is more appropriate.
I don't plan this feature anymore. I think it make things even more complicated. It brings need to cache value which is contraindication for keeping memory consumption as low as possible. There is no possible to set r/o flag from java,there would be necessary to check this flag periodically an so on. I don't like it.
This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither added comments, we are verifying/closing it now. If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. Thanks in advance.
