Title:
Natilus should ignore read only attribute for folders in a windows
share
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Windows uses the read-only attribute for folders solely to indicate
that this folder should be rendered in a special way (e.g. Fonts
folder, Desctop, Videos, ...). So a folder with the read-only
attribute set is actually considered writeable. Nautilus however
considers it actually read only and deactivates certain features like
creating files and folders. This should not happen.
A description of the Windows behaviour is at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549 . Also the underlying smb and gvfs do
allow proper write access (e.g. via shell commands).
Nautilus however interprets the missing "w" flag and deactivates certain
operations.
Nautilus should recognise that a folder is a smb mount and still
assume write access.
