Handling read-only files

If a file marked as read-only by the operating system is opened in <oXygen/> you will not be able to make modifications to it regardless of the page the file was opened in. You can check out the read-only state of the file by looking in the Properties view. If you modify the file's properties from the operating system and the file becomes writable you will be able to make modifications to it on the spot without having to reopen it.

The read-only state is also marked by a lock decoration which appears in the editor tab and specified in the tooltip for a certain tab.
