#25364 Admin cannot change files

[Wesley Johnson]

I have been a Doom Legacy developer for a long time.
Recently, smitemeister gave me admin priv too.

I have been unable (several attempts over several days) to remove and replace a bad download file, because I get "Permission Denied". It will let me go through all the steps, but at the end I just get the RED BOX.

Complaining at smitemeister (Ville) has not gotten me anywhere, and he is not getting around to removing the bad file (it has the wrong version of Doom Legacy in it).

The bad file is in 1.48.12/doomlegacy_1.48.12_linux2.6_32_x11.tar.bz2.
It actually has 1.48.10 in it.

I have a replacement file prepared, but it will not accept me replacing the file either, RED BOX.

Thank you, that fixed the problem.
I was able to delete files and add new files.
The system, of course, does all the wrong things, forcing me to reload files into it just to get the latest downloads to present properly.

The latest download is still wrong as it points to a 1.48.12 file now (that I had to fix), but it is not worth the trouble to reload files just to get it to point to any of the 1.48.14 files. That would make those files look new to all the users.

Hello,

There's a way to force a specific version to download.

Go to the project files located here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/doomlegacy/files/
Go to the version's folder you want to set up as the default
You can find the file you want to set as default and click on the information icon to the right.
Check the OS boxes where it says "Default download for" as needed.
Click Save.

Sincerely,
