Apply Property Error message
I run Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) SP1. I have uses FileMeta for several years, and find it to be of great help. I just upgraded from 1.3 to 1.5, but I am sure that has nothing to do with my problem.
I use a backup program, Macrium Reflect, which, when a backup is made, creates .mrimg files . I wanted to expand what Comments, Title, etc. they allow, so thought I would apply FileMeta.
FileMeta Association Manager lists the file extension and program correctly so I was able to set up a File Meta Handler, using a Simple profile. That portion went just fine.
When I open Properties for a specific .mrimg file, all of the items listed under Description (on the Details tab) can be modifed, so FileMeta seems to be working. But when I try to save that information, I get a 'Apply Property Error' screen, as shown on the attached file. I tried to accomplish this several times, and on 3 different .mrimg files, but always got the same Apply Property Error screen. I note that the icon on the screen is the same as Macrium uses, so the error message may be generated from them.
Have you ever seen anything like this, and if so, is there a workaround? I have not yet contacted Macrium; I thought I would start with you first.

I notice that the error message talks about a “password protected file”. So I’m guessing that the problem relates to file permissions. As the property store used by File Meta is provided by NTFS, file permissions will inhibit property updates just as they inhibit file updates.

I get the same error for any .url files (on native untouched property handler) .. but it's a known bug that can be solved by editing the .url file (which is a text file) as explained in KB 2568750 .. not sure how you could solve this for .mrimg files..
