Excellent!
I'm eagerly awaiting feedback, in particular whether the GUI offers
enough usability for you.

Unfortunately I think few people would know what "Apply recursively"
means. The Finder has "Apply to enclosed items", which is better, but
"enclosed items" is still awkward. If this was just a single button it
could be "Apply to Everything Inside".

What are the use cases for wanting to apply a folder's (or disk's)
permissions to its files but not subfolders, or vice versa?
