[Bug 503315] Re: File access field is not properly updated in folder properties (Nautilus)
The bug is old and Ubuntu changed quite a lot since, there has also been no activity here nor similar reports. Closing since we believe the issue as described is deprecated but feel free to file a new report if you still have problems in recent Ubuntu versions. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503315 Title: File access field is not properly updated in folder properties (Nautilus) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/503315/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 503315] Re: File access field is not properly updated in folder properties (Nautilus)
Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue , in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install , that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of the project. either this is a bug or its the expected behavior (might be for security reason but not a papercut For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as invalid ONLY in the papercuts project. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New = Invalid -- File access field is not properly updated in folder properties (Nautilus) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status.

@om26er: I will forward upstream. I was hoping we could define expected behaviour better but I guess we can leave that to upstream as they will know better what sort of feedback they want their application to provide. -- File access field is not properly updated in folder properties (Nautilus) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Re: [Bug 503315] Re: File access field is not properly updated in folder properties (Nautilus)
Hi, I would say to follow the specifications, if they are available :) If not, I think it would be nice to see the access rights. For the situation you have described, when they are mixed, it should say something like (mixed access rights) (which should be unselectable). I will think about it when I have the time and I will send you another ideea, as well On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 3:25 AM, Bruno Girin brunogi...@gmail.com wrote: OK, I think I understand what it does now.

Re: [Bug 503315] Re: File access field is not properly updated in folder properties (Nautilus)
Hello Bruno, This is what I do: in my Videos folder I have some subdirectories with some movies I would like others to see as well; I select Videos and right click it to get the properties dialog, permissions tab; I can see that folder permissions is set to access files, and they can do that, but the point is that they can't open a file which is not a folder (an avi, for example). I have to use apply permission to enclosed files to set correct read permissions on the files (control file access for Others) within the subfolders, which is fine, but the control does not show what I just did (it remains --- instead of read-only for example). Permissions are set, updating the control value to match that does not happen. Clicking apply permissions to enclosed files sets them, but no visual feed-back lets you know what just happened, but a small update of the last changed field, beneath SELinux context I hope this helps, Florin On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 9:37 PM, Bruno Girin brunogi...@gmail.com wrote: @florin: can you be more specific in your description please?
