What attribute for a locked file?

by Timothy Smith <tssmith@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jan 30, 2008 at 11:24 AM

Running Leopard on a Mac Pro. Photoshop won't start--claims that a file 
is locked. Well it isn't the PS app, and it isn't an image file that I'm 
trying to open. So?

I'd like to search down the applications file directory, and see if 
there is a file that got locked that PS is trying to open. Some aux file 
of some sort.

So how? I could use 'find' in a terminal window, but nothing in the man 
page indicates what attribute a locked file has. AFAIK, this is 
Mac-specific, and not standard Unix semantics. (But then, my Unix 
knowledge is rather out-of-date.) I also have a Python program that 
lists files recursively that I could modify, if there were some known 
attribute for a locked file.

Any help appreciated. Hope I haven't missed something obvious. Thx.

BTW, this all started after I tried to do a permissions repair, using 
the Leopard disk utility, on the volume containing the PS app. I should 
have left it alone!
