Description Fabio Bonelli 2006-07-14 12:59:45 UTC 
$ touch file

File is shown by nautilus

$ chmod 000 file

Nautilus doesn't add "can't write"/"can't read" emblems to the file's icon.

Somewhat similar Ubuntu bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/54182

"after chmod/chown file/dir properties are not updated until refresh

1. create any file somewhere, eg. touch ~/blabla
2. open your $HOME in nautilus
3. right click the blabla, see rights - are 600644
4. close the properties window
5. change the rights, eg. chmod +x ~/blabla
6. repeat #3 - right are still 600644 (wrong!)
7. close the properties window
8. refresh the view in nuatilus
9. repeat #3 - rights are 1600755 this time

Same for chmod."

This is no longer an issue with Nautilus 2.21.90. feel free to re open the bug if you can reproduce it with it, thanks.
