Description Ray 2008-11-28 21:50:32 UTC

Please describe the problem:
"Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files" does not set owner to folders and files within a folder.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Choose a folder, right click, choose properties
2. Click on the permissions tab
3. Change Owner
4. Click the "Apply permissions to enclosed files"

Same results when using gksu nautilus


Actual results:
Only the owner of the folder selected changes.

Expected results:
All folders and files should have the same owner after pressing "Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files".

Does this happen every time?
This happens on every attempt.

The bug this is supposedly a duplicate of is over two years old, can you confirm that this is in fact a bug and not just a miss-understanding of the apply permissions feature. If this is in fact a bug then why hasn't it been fixed already?
