Prelude changing file to READ ONLY. Cannot add markers

[flowjuggler]

Working with .MTS files in Prelude, logging clips.  Manually moved files to destination directory and injested files into project in prelude. Everything was working fine creating subclips until it stopped. The first time the error occurs is always when I set the out point for a new subclip. I get the following error:

"The file 000878.MTS.xmp cannot be saved, because it is READ ONLY. Try re-opening the project."

I have closed and reopened Prelude. Saved the project as a copy. Booted and rebooted the computer. I can add markers to other files in the project until the error presents itself, then I can no longer add markers.

The file, when viewed from explorer, is read/write and available to everyone on the system.

I think I solve this problem,

you must change permissions for folder where you have source files.

Because your system must have write permissions for this folder.

This change you can set in CMD.

Here is description of procces:

To view or to remove the Read-only or the System attributes of folders in Windows Vista or Windows 7

Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER..

To view the syntax for the Attrib command, type attrib /? at the command prompt.

To remove the Read-only attribute and to set the System attribute, use the following command:

attrib -r +s drive:\<path>\<foldername>

For example, to remove the Read-only attribute and to set the System attribute for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

attrib -r +s c:\test

Be aware that some programs may not operate correctly with folders for which the System attribute and the Read-only attribute are set. Therefore, use the following command to remove these attributes:

attrib -r -s drive:\<path>\<foldername>

For example, to remove both the Read-only and the System attributes from the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

attrib -r -s c:\test

If the Run command is not listed on the Start menu, do the following:

Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Run.
