Description babymathew 2004-03-25 06:28:26 UTC 
Its an enhancement in nautilus which helps a user to change the permissions of 
all the contents of a folder(including sub folders),Which gives the option for 
the user like "Add to Folder Contents" and if this option is true and when the 
user clicks the close button of the properties page The changed permissions
(only the Changed permissions) will be applied to all the contents of that 
folder.

Append the patch file to fm-properties-window.c

Does this patch deal with the fact that permissions on a folder (particularly
+x) aren't usually what you want on folder contents.

Also please read the nautilus styleguide for formatting details.

Bug 44767 is the same as this bug.  
  
There is 1 other problem than recursive directory changes:  
- When selecting several files, the group of the files cannot be changed.  
  
Gnome developers certainly use the shell, as the GUI is useless.  
 
So what's up guys ? This problem has been reported 5 years ago, and we are now  
in Gnome 2.10 ???
Comment 7 Dave Wolovich 2005-06-13 23:45:49 UTC 
Please add this functionality.  This is crucial to the usefulness of Nautilus as
a file manager.
