Comment 32 for bug 209695

Well, thank you Ryan for caring for the users. Please, continue overlooking this issue as a minor problem and certainly there will be more cases of data loss and even tech newspapers will likely mention it.

Should someone Digg this maybe to make things fixed?

As far as I understand, all occurences of 0600 should be changed to 0400 here:

simple search&replace will do here.

however the problem lies in the TB handling files on Windows:

For what it's worth, I just tried to implement BZ's suggestion from comment #3.
It did not work on Windows XP, files were still read/write."

so, is there any way to make files Read only on Windows?
