Issue:

If you change file attribute of VTF to read-only and open the flow, right after edited flow cannot be saved properly. The edited VTF file will be overwritten by existed read-only flow.

 

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a flow and save as a file. In this case, the flow is "Flow A".
  2. Close the flow.
  3. Change file attribute of VTF to read-only.
  4. Open the VTF file again.
  5. Create another new flow and save. In this case, the flow is "Flow B".
  6. However, timestamp and attribute of "Flow B" VTF file are same as Flow A.
  7.  Close and reopen "Flow B" VTF file, and then "Flow B" is overwritten by "Flow A".
