Getting Clear read only status on Webstorm 8

I have webstorm 8 installed on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I am trying to edit a file but I am getting a popup, with heading "Clear read only status", which shows file and two radio button

When I select Using File system and click OK, nothing happens, and it doesn't allow to select Second option.

I am using git as my dcvs.

Please guide me on how I can remove this read only status from that file.

Solution

  • I had similar problem and I ran following command and my problem was resolved:

    sudo chown -R $(whoami) my-project-folder

    Works on both Ubuntu & OS X

    To check username use: whoami
