I would like to have an option to apply permissions in a directory recursivelly, like Konqueror has. This option can be in the same permissions tab of properties window and if possible the same for owners. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open xffm 2. Select a directory, right click and select File->Properties 3. Click in permissions tab. Actual Results: The recursive option isn't avaliable. Expected Results: An option to set the permissions recursivelly. I know, it can be done in terminal, but this option in xffm will be very usefull.
This feature is currently disabled. You can enable it by modifying file properties.c with a "#define RECURSIVE_BUTTON" at the top. Problem: when you recursively modify properties you modify properties of files within directories and the directories themselves. Since directories *must* be executable to be readable, this attribute should not be changed. We are waiting for someone to contribute a patch to fix this issue and thus reenable the recursive button. Probably have to do a recursive glob end send out a chmod(2) for each file instead of forking to a single process to chmod(1).
I'll take a look in the sources and try to fix it.
