Possibly some 'attribute change' programmes if you search, perhaps https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/attribute_changer.html 

Edit: I did this search :  new folders default to Read Only win11    I got this reply

Open a folder, then set the view the way you like it to be. On the resulting dialog, select the View tab and click the 'Apply to Folders' button. That will set the view on all folders of that type.

Perhaps you can think of your toilet roll as a fixed lens, what you get is what you get image wise. What you need to get is focus and possibly how long the shutter is open, then it gets complicated but doable.   this may help.

(how vlaiv puts that together in a couple of minutes is beyond me)

Is there a way to enter a bolt from the top, nut & washer under fixing plate ?  needs to be a more permanent mounting.

Not sure what I am doing with this, made some assumptions.

A nice phone app called Ruler Pro has handy thread pitch and screw size screens.  Once app is calibrated real size is shown.

Super nice James,  lovely to see campers & stars.

Will this work

Anybody regular guest on the island, how do the conditions like on the Northern "cloudy" part look like, e.g. Puntagorda, Garafía? Are there much less clear nights than in the South? Do the light pollution from Los LIanos and of course the mountain horizon destroy the view to the South?

The north is much higher and may be above the cloud, I think Puntagorda is popular of course it's a long trip to the beach!!

Many years ago we stayed at Casa Visioneros, near Tijarafe,   as a potluck pick I think we did pretty well.

Also look at Shotcut,  runs on most os, lots of tutorials.  https://shotcut.org/   

( If you like a dark theme go with version 22, version 23 is very new  - see site for what an why)

You may need to get away from the coast,  sky in the Canaries can be good.  Enjoy.

All the very best Malc,  it's good to have you around on here.

I am assuming it's this,  https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/632558  long way to go if it is - good luck with it.

Well worth the extra work would be an understatement,  super stuff super nice.
