Public bug reported:
Using 12.04 LTS 64-bit.
If I use dconf-editor to change the way File/Folder permissions display
in Nautilus (dconf-editor = org > gnome > nautilus > extensions >
preferences > show-advanced-permissions) and then bring up the
properties of a folder (e.g., right-click a folder and select properties
> permissions) the Permissions-Tab always has dashes in it under the
"File Permissions" Section (see Screenshot).
Even when a folder's content is not "mixed" with respect to file
permissions, the Permissions-Tab always shows the content as mixed
(i.e., with dashes). This should not be. If all a folder's files have
all been marked so that only the Owner has read/write access, then the
folder should display this in the properties. Currently, even if a
folder contains only one file, it shows Mixed Content.
Users wishing to control file permissions of all files within a folder
have no way to find out if "mixed content" exists in the folder because
the Permissions-Tab always shows "mixed content" regardless of whether
mixed content actually exists or not in the folder.
