They protected the attribute??

TIG

Are they saved as attributes ?
The bold ones are relevant ?

Looks like it ?

Dan: batch editing lots of files

Dan Rathbun

Yes but it's not something I wish to post publically. (It involves the Google account login, and a person's proprietary claim on their work?)

EDIT: .. well gee you guys just publish your IDs why dont ya?

Why would you want to change these settings?

Hmmm... if it is not yet set.. you should be able to set it. Enter a feature request?

yeah. that removes the credits. but the idea is to add them (still the same error as when trying to modify them)

so it is not possible in current version to add credits programmatically

I was thinking maybe you could create a dictionary with a temp name, delete the old one, then rename the new one, but ... I don't see a rename() or name= method for dictionaries.

TIG

There is no 'name=' option for dictionaries - you have to clone the whole thing with a new name and delete the original.

The core-code magically prevents the specific dictionary name [GSU_ContributorsInfo] from being 'made' or edited by the standard users [although we have seen that 'deleting' it is possible - but I'd think that's probably an oversight by Google] - BUT of course it IS editable somehow... because Google can do it !
