@Ken: thanks, could you add this comment on the upstream bug as well? While we have some GNOME hackers working on Ubuntu upstream is probably a better place to share those infos and discuss the work needed in any case since bugzilla comments will reach the people writing nautilus where on launchpad you mostly reach the integration team in Ubuntu
-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/822993 Title: Applying Permissions to enclosed files in Nautilus' Folder Properties window doesn't work Status in Nautilus: New Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: To reproduce, gksudo nautilus to get root permissions, find a folder with files inside. Right click the folder and choose properties, go onto the permissions tab and change the owner and group to something else, eg to ubuntu if root, or root if ubuntu. Click the 'Apply perms to enclosed files' option and then close the window. Wait a bit before closing it if you wish, but when you go into that folder and check the permissions of the files inside, they will not have changed. I noticed this when copying my firefox profile from my main partition onto my live USB of the daily build.
