File handling small thingy - CopyFile-Readonly

File handling small thingy - CopyFile-Readonly

Hi to the great developers of Opera,
I am a new forum member, but a very old Opera user since win98 (still copying Opera3.adr from one version to another )

Here is a small thingy which I guess would be fixed easier with development.
( Tested Opera version 10.53.3374.0 )

Short Explanation:
If predefined configuration files have read only attributes, Opera copy these files to Profile directory with their Read Only Attributes causing small, unwanted thingies.

Detailed Explanation:
I prepare Opera to run on cd for PE1 environment (<-- This part is to inform why i get this +R thingy)

Since Opera is on cd, when iso created, all files attributed +R (Read only) (<-- Well, I guess I can fiddle with iso creation to fix this..... but since Opera is the most flexible browser of universe I feel better to inform developers)

When opera.exe started, It creates files/folders under %AppData%\Opera\Opera10 by using predefined settings.

BUT

I see opera copy some files from "OperaFolder" , hence some files stay readonly on %AppData%\Opera\Opera10\ folder,
This results with some minor failures when Opera started

1)
\OperaFolder\default\bookmarks.adr
Opera copy this file with its +R attribute to
%AppData%\Opera\Opera10\bookmarks.adr

well this cause using bookmarks causing errors (when one click a bookmark, opera wants to write information like last visit date i guess to adr file).

2)
If there exists
\OperaFolder\default\operaprefs.ini
Opera copy this file with its +R attribute to
%AppData%\Opera\Opera10\operaprefs.ini
this cause thingies.

I found workaround for this
I put
\OperaFolder\operaprefs_default.ini
as a result Opera does not copy, instead create %AppData%\Opera\Opera10\operaprefs.ini by reading operaprefs_default.ini which fixes this thingies .


X)
I also notice some other files copied with +R like
%AppData%\Opera\Opera10\styles\user\ --> css files (<--- I do not think this cause something, only informing)

and probably there maybe more on some setting scenarios which I am sure Opera Advanced users and developers know better.


All above can be easly reproduced by playing attributes of above files on normal windows. (no need to create cd )

Well to fix all above, I will make a loader that copy files to %AppData%\Opera\Opera10\ and attrib -R (<-- Well this is not something I am very eager to), rest is wonderfully done with Opera .

Please do not consider this as a bug report, it is a thingy, or a request for feature. I am aware Opera Developers did not design Opera to run on cd hence this can not be a bug, but to me Opera10 on cd is almost fully ready with a small touch of Opera Developers.

ps: I hope I post to right forum. I am a bit confused to post where and since PE is a Windows platform, I decided to write here.

Thanks All Opera Team .
