I have tried to change that in the Get Info box. The problem is that
the button "Apply to enclosed items" to permeate the new permissions
to subfolders doesn't work. It never has for me, neither with the
10.3 that came preinstalled from Apple, nor after a nuke-and-pave I
did some months ago.
Is this a known bug of Panther? What can I do about it? Settings
permissions manually for a program like Toast would take forever,
with all the subfolder and files in that program package
Well, I know about it. It seems like it ought to be well known.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I tend to use the
command line. The other way though is to open each folder in
question, switch to list view, select all then hit option-right arrow
until all levels are open, hit select all again then do Get Info and
set the permissions on all files / folders at once.
I don't know how this will work with packages (which are really folders).
