Description tom 2001-09-10 00:48:40 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:


I want to change the properties on a group of files.  For example I wanted to
remove the execute flag on a set of jpg files in a folder in my home directory. 
I selected the files and then right clicked and selected Show Properties.  This
opened a number of individual windows, 1 for each file selected. I had to go
through each and deselect the execute flag.

* REPRODUCIBLE: Always

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

As above

* EXPECTED RESULTS: 

  I expected Nautilus to open a single window with properties - perhaps showing
me only those that applied to all files selected.  I hoped to be able to change
the relevant property and close the window.

The command I ended up executing was chmod -x *.jpg
