Some thoughts after trying your new file properties dialog. It looks nice and more user-friendly then the original one. I like it. However, there are some issues.
I don't think options for sticky bit and setgid should be given to the users. That's why they are removed from the dialog in the beginning. I did not forget to do them. I avoid showing them to the users deliberately. I bet normal users don't know what's sticky bit. Those who need to set sticky bits should know how to use chmod commands. Setting or removing setuid/setgid accidentally can cause problems for users who don't know what's that. If we really need to provide this, can this be put in an "Advanced" mode? For the other parts, "enter" looks odd.What's the difference of "Read" and "Enter" for a directory? I find this very confusing. Again, for those who really need to enable read but deny execute for a dir, they should be very familiar with chmod command as this is really a rare case. Some special permission settings are only needed in very special conditions. Most of the time, who need this kind of unusual permission settings are experts. So they should use chmod command instead. Some may even need ACL, which is not provided by libfm at all. What do you think? On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 11:47 PM, Andrej N.
