The mac os solution is to have a 'enforce permissions on this device' option (in the info/properties of the device). maybe this could be implemented in a similar way to the .is_audio_player file [0]. A safer way to backup to potentially old filesystems is to make a tar achieve. this protects ownership and permissions, and also prevents filename truncation, and case sensitivity problems. sam [0] http://live.gnome.org/Rhythmbox/FAQ -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
