According to the Desktop User Guide in Nautilus Preferences/List Columns Preferences:
"Octal Permissions: Choose this option to display the permissions of the item in octal notation, for example 764." I think it would be more « user friendly » to only show the first four octal digits (I don't know if we can speak about user-friendliness when it comes to octal digits though ^^). Moreover it would follow what's done with "Permisions" column. ** Attachment added: "A temporary fix I used for my own Nautilus" http://librarian.launchpad.net/2515137/octal_perms.diff -- [Gnome nautilus] bad display of 'Octal Permissions' https://launchpad.net/bugs/43273 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
