Read-only folders

[philbutler]

Hi,

Forgive me if this is already possible. I would like to make certain top-level folders to be read-only. When I do global seach/replace, I want to only s/r the project folders and not the common folders which contain code common to several projects. Occasionally, I do want to modify the common code and would need a quick/easy way to temporarily disable the read-only permission.

Is there a way to do this ? Ideally, it would be nice to note the read-only status by an obvious banner and/or different text background color.

Thanks for such a great product !! Phil

Have a look at this thread and see if it meets your needs.

Alternatively, you could look to this plugin, but I have never used it:
