Windows file permission : isReadable()

[demifred]

Hello!

I'm unsing QT Jambi to test read permissions on files and directory from a Java application :

if (fileToRead.isDirectory()) {
    QDir qDir = new QDir(fileToRead.getAbsolutePath());
    System.out.println("Directory " + qDir.isReadable() + "--> " + fileToRead.getAbsolutePath());            
} else {
    QFileInfo qFileInfo = new QFileInfo(fileToRead.getAbsolutePath());
    System.out.println("File -->  " + qFileInfo.isReadable() + "--> " + fileToRead.getAbsolutePath());
}

if (fileToRead.isDirectory()) {
    QDir qDir = new QDir(fileToRead.getAbsolutePath());
    System.out.println("Directory " + qDir.isReadable() + "--> " + fileToRead.getAbsolutePath());            
} else {
    QFileInfo qFileInfo = new QFileInfo(fileToRead.getAbsolutePath());
    System.out.println("File -->  " + qFileInfo.isReadable() + "--> " + fileToRead.getAbsolutePath());
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The isReadable() method return allways true, even if the file or the directory is read protected ...

Can anybody help me ...?

Thanks!

I don't know anything about Qt Jambi, but on Windows, the read-only file attribute usually still allows you to read the file; you just can't write to it. Perhaps you want isWriteable()?

Hello!

My idea is not to test the general read-only file attribute.

I'm parsing all the files on a file system and I want to know if a file is read-protected for the current user or not...

Any idea ?
