Thanks for your quick reply! Please forgive my tone, I didn't intent to sound this annoyed. Overall it is great software!
I just set a file to read-only to and renaming seems to work indeed. Initially I received this error when copying the VIDEO_TS directory from an unprotected retail dvd to my hard drive. So I tried this again but even know the F2 function seems to work just fine. So I recorded a television program with my dvd recorder and copied the VIDEO_TS folder to my hard drive. Now the F2 function does not work. So I checked the permissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Bureaublad/test$ ls -l VIDEO_TS totaal 54636 -r-xr-xr-x+ 1 magnentius magnentius 12288 2008-05-17 10:22 VIDEO_TS.BUP -r-xr-xr-x+ 1 magnentius magnentius 12288 2008-05-17 10:22 VIDEO_TS.IFO -r-xr-xr-x+ 1 magnentius magnentius 32768 2008-05-17 10:22 VIDEO_TS.VOB -r-xr-xr-x+ 1 magnentius magnentius 16384 2008-05-17 10:22 VTS_01_0.BUP -r-xr-xr-x+ 1 magnentius magnentius 16384 2008-05-17 10:22 VTS_01_0.IFO -r-xr-xr-x+ 1 magnentius magnentius 55771136 2008-05-17 10:22 VTS_01_1.VOB This seems normal for read-only files. So I made a test directory which I gave use-only permissions and the F2 function doesn’t work on the files in it now!
