I've always used dconf-editor to enable the "show-advanced-permissions" setting for Nautilus Permissions. Upon installing Ubuntu 13.04 with GNOME 3.6 (I believe) I cannot find the setting. It's historically been located at dconf-editor> org> gnome> nautilus> preferences> show-advanced-permissions. Perhaps the setting has been moved?
The advanced-permissions makes managing file/folder permissions a lot easier and is a must-have setting. I set up Ubuntu computers thru the office and everyone prefers the advanced-permissions to the current default. Another advantage to advanced-permissions is that it allows users control over the execute permission across User/Group/Other (whereas the default GUI only allows it to be set on or off for all three categories). I hope show-advanced-permissions wasn't removed? That would be a bad move. I ask that it please be reinstated in dconf-editor in the next GNOME release or that the advanced-permission view be made the default. I filed a bug report but it has received no attention: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702685 -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
