attrib function

[nagan]

Function attrib:a (or any other) also throws files for which attributes are missing (for example a disconnected pen drive -say)

[void]

Fixed for the next beta update, thanks for the bug report.

Everything was treating invalid attributes as all attributes being set.

1.What is the basis of an attrib sort? Presently attribute "D" ie folder is retained at the top and others A , AC follow it , but for other sorts the hierarchy is followed.

2.Attrib "O"which is mentioned in the help does not display for offline files.

3.Can the Help list the attribute constants alphabetically..

Folders are always sorted first.

2.Attrib "O"which is mentioned in the help does not display for offline files.

This is for "Offline files" which is different to files that are currently offline.

3.Can the Help list the attribute constants alphabetically..

Done, for the next beta update.

Tried to compare the descending sort of a column with an ascending sort of attrib.. God Bless...

In the attrib sort there are some blank rows (Nil attrib)between RHA ans RHSA. Perhaps this is already reported and you are aware. Just for information....

Thanks for the info, this should be fixed in the next update.

I made a search of attrib:rac , it also threw up 1 file of "A" and "AC" though there are a lot of "A" and "AC" attribed files. Perhaps live update is causing it?

Want to know if a search attrib:AC!R is valid to seek only archive and compressed files and leave out the read only. But it throws all the files of "RAC" . This is out of curiosity only , and not that I gain much from such files!

[void]

Are these issues with 657 or 658?
attrib:rac appears to work correctly with 658 for me

attrib: will eat all input, but only uses valid attributes.
It will ignore the ! in attrib:AC!R

If you wish to exclude attributes, use !attrib: for example:

Code: Select all

!attrib:r

Yes the snap was from 657b. I made a search for RA in 658b, and I found a file with only "A" attribute. The time of the file DM seems very near to the query... Confirmed

EDIT
I have posted a snapshot a little later. It is 658b , and I find over the time one or two files with "A" added to it after the results were displayed.

There is a bug when adding new files (the attribute is ignored).

I will post a fix soon, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
