The "Set File Attribute" action fails if the filename is quoted. Unfortunately "File Iterator" gives quoted strings, so I need to add a "String Quoting" action to strip those.

To test, just place a Set Attrib action, enter a valid filename, test it. Now quote the filename, and watch it not work.

Hi Moz,   
  
 Please see my reply to the other thread you started on this topic: [https://www.finalbuilder.com/forums.aspx?forumid=1&postid=4773&view=topic](https://www.finalbuilder.com/forums.aspx?forumid=1&postid=4773&view=topic)   
  
 I’ll still update the action so it accepts quoted pathnames.   
  
 Regards,
