[Avid-L2] Re: MBP 10.6.3 MCsoft 5 Read Only on Media folders Ignored by Avid

I think I've figured out my error. I use to lock the folder and all was well. This was on OS 10.4.11 as best I recall. Now on my MBP 10.6.3 it seems to work on the OMFI folder but not on the Avid MediaFiles folder. I think this is do to the extra folders inside which don't get locked. I found for the MXF folder if I make the top folder read only and then click to include enclose items it works. I suppose I could probably just lock each of the folder individually too. Anybody know if these kinds of folder behaviors have changed from 10.4.11 to 10.6.3?
