Hi all, I noticed that I named the permission methods "get_permission" and "set_permission". For some reason this is bugging me. Would anyone object if I changed it to "get_permissions" and "set_permissions"? I don''t really want to create an alias... Regards, Dan

Hi folks, I''ve got most everything done for the pure Ruby version of win32-file. The last thing left (since I''ll be moving the IO methods to a different package eventually) is the file security stuff. Here''s what I''ve got so far for the get_permissions method. However, I''m stuck at GetAce(). If someone could help me finish up this method, I

I''ve got a (broken) version of File.set_permissions in CVS, and I need some help finishing it off please. Heesob, can you take a look? Thanks, Dan

Hi, I''ve commited win32-file update for FileSecurity DACLs Added some constants, three singleton functions, and test code. Calling Syntax is like this: Win32::File.set_permission(''filename'',{''Everyone''=>Win32::File::FULL, ''NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM''=>Win32::File::CHANGE,

Hello Guys, I''m trying to get this working: t = Thread.new { while true puts "printing a line" sleep 2 end } gets t.exit puts "exiting" As you see, the idea is get multiple "printing a line" until a hit enter. The thing is this is a known problem for 1.8 on win32. I tried both mingw, VC6 and VC8 with the same results. Saw a post

Hi, I believe this patch would be a perfect solution for a lengthy initialization application.

Hi all, I committed win32-driveinfo 0.1.0 to CVS.

Hi all, I''m forwarding this message from Brian Marick. If you run this test script and then paste the results into a Unicode aware text editor, you''ll notice that it only prints one character instead of three. I tried changing the strlen to _tcslen and strcpy to _tcscpy, but that didn''t help. I mucked around a bit with the MultiByteToWideChar function, too, but

Dang, I thought we solved this. Any ideas?

Hi all, How does this look as a general approach to a SID.create method: # Creates and initializes def self.create(authority, *sub_authorities) if sub_authorities.length > 8 raise ArgumentError, ''maximum of 8 subauthorities allowed'' end authorities = Array.new(8, 0) authorities.replace(sub_authorities) count = authorities.select{ |e| e > 0 }.size

Hi all, I''m trying to get the allocation size of a file via a file handle (rather than its name).

Hi all, I''ve got the latest win32-mmap code checked into CVS. Unfortunately, it seems that I''m not able to open an existing mapping and retrieve set data.
