Cursor doesnt set any permissions to files by itself. unless some command was executed to change permissions but that would have been listed in the chat as a command chmod ....
I had a similar issue when my Mac SSD had an issue. Restarting Mac fixed that.
Thank you! I will try that…
If it still doesnt work you can execute following command in terminal in Cursor
ls -la
Output would be something similar to
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 user group 4096 Mar 27 12:00 dir1
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 123 Mar 27 12:00 file1.txt
-r--r--r-- 1 user group 456 Mar 27 12:00 file2.txt
The values on the left mean:
d = directory
r = read permission of the file/directory
w = write permission of the file/directory
x = execute permission of the file/directory
and it shows them 3 times because its
1 for the owner of the file (if user can read, write or execute file)
2 for the group of the owner of the file (if the group can read, write or execute file)
3 for anyone else who is not owner or group, if they can read write or execute file.
so if the files have r r r it can be read only since it doesnt have w for write permission.
Thank you T1000… I was unable to copy the code to a new file either, but by restarting the computer, i was able to copy the code script to a new file and it became editable! The original file till won’t work, even though i have full admin rw permissions.
I feel this is solved! thanks again
Sorry to say but the issues are getting worse. It is not my Mac OS, i’ve run a complete scan and my machine is error free and no malware or issues exist. The cursor Ai acknowledges my new issues, so I posted a NEW TOPIC ISSUE with other details.
