TrID won't handle files with the hidden attribute set
« on: October 05, 2007, 01:57:16 AM »
I was a little puzzled when TrID simply said ?* Error: found no file(s) to analyze!? on a single file I specified which does exist. After removing the ?hidden? attribute from the file, TrID was able to process the file. This might be something that could easily be fixed :)

Hello,

Thanks for this wonderful software!
Could you tell me how please to remove the "hidden" attribute from a
file?

I thank you very much for your help.

From a Command Prompt, just use the ATTRIB command with the -h parameters, like:

Code: [Select]
c:\temp> attrib -h myfile.txt
