Sounds good. So why is the "advanced-permissions" not the default in GNOME? I found this "impossible to find setting" with help from others. That is, the current permissions tab is so bad people are going to the trouble of finding this "impossible to find setting" to fix it. The current default is really bad. It should be changed, if nothing else because it forces users to the command-line to work the Execute permission. I think users should have a GUI option to fully operate permissions. But further, the "advanced-permissions" is much easier to understand and configure. This "hidden mode" should not have been removed unless/until the one offered is at least as good. ________________________________ > Date: Sun, 23 Jun 2013 18:31:12 -0004 > From: a...@medovina.org > Subject: Re: show-advanced-permissions setting needed > To: mttbrns...@outlook.com > CC: nautilus-list@gnome.org > > Matt, > > the advanced permissions mode was evidently removed last August: > > === > https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=87cfa404d845cbd59b7bf5c95931aa930dbe3d15 > > > author William Jon McCann <jmcc...@redhat.com> 2012-08-20 18:19:26 (GMT) > commit 87cfa404d845cbd59b7bf5c95931aa930dbe3d15 (patch) > > Remove advanced permissions > > > On Sun, Jun 23, 2013 at 2:22 PM, Matt B. <mttbrns...@outlook.com> wrote: > I've always used dconf-editor to enable the "show-advanced-permissions" > setting for Nautilus Permissions.
