Hi xor, the answer is in the error message: "Read-only file system". This has to do with how TCL works and has nothing to do with xfe.

The contents of /tmp/tcloop/ are mounted extensions. Extensions are squashfs archives. Squashfs is read-only.

If you need to modify properties of the files or directories inside  acl.tcz  or any other extension, you have to extract the extension, make your desired changes, re-create the extension, then replace the extension in tce/optional/ with your modified extension.

You can not change it using the visual interface.
You can not change it using the command line.
It is a  Read-only file system.
You can not change files or permissions on those directories because you can not write to them.
It is a  Read-only file system.

in accordance with the drag and drop logic;
Can you create a * .sh script that translates current applications into *.tcz configuration !?
