Looks good.
But I wonder: could this be another instance where
programmer logic is the reverse of user logic?
The interface has inherited this from the command
line, but does the user think:
"What do I want my rights to be? What do I want the
group's rights to be? What do I want everybody's
rights to be?"
Or does the user think:
"Who can read? Who can read and write? Who can
execute?"
That approach would give us:
Read access: [drop-down: me / group / everyone]
Read and write: [same drop-down]
Execute this file as application: [same again]
