Description Nick Amor 2006-03-24 07:53:46 UTC 
When changing the permissions of a folder through Nautilus, the Permissions tab
should in some way ask the user if they want to apply any changes recursively
(to all of the files in the folder). Currently users have to either do this
manually by chmod/chown in console or by setting each files permissions
seperately (VERY tedious)...

(My first bug by the way, hope I filed it right...)

Mac OS X has a button in its' relevant dialog which makes any file permission changes recursively, by the way.

My bad, should've searched harder beforehand! I'm not suprised though, I've been troubled by this since GNOME 2.8 :(
