Hi
I am not sure if this is a bug at all, or there may be some reason for it, and besides I dont' thing it makes much difference ....
Anyway, here we go...after having updated to HW 6.1 I loaded all the current 21 plugins for the Amiga and installed them using the provided installer program. When I 'list'ed all the hwp files in the LIbs:hollywood directory I noticed that all but two have the protect bits set like this:
--p-rwed
The two exceptions are - httpstreamer.hwp and ahx.hwp. For these two files the bits are set as:
h---rwed
According to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaDOS it says:
"H = Hold (reentrant commands with the P-bit set will automatically become resident on first execution. Requires E, P and R bits set to work."
As I read it, the 'H' bit only makes sense if the 'E','R' and 'P' bits are also set, which is not the case here for those two files.
regards
Jesper

Re: Protect bit setting for Amiga Plugins
Hmm, right, this is probably because those plugins are all packaged on a non-Amiga system so it seems like some attributes got mixed up. I'll see if there's a way to get only RWED on the plugins as it should be.
