File Permissions in Nautilus

Nautilus
Nautilus

Alexander Larsson recently committed his work on the permissions page in Nautilus. He writes: I just commited a rework of the permissions page in the file property dialog. It has a simplified UI (and an advanced/unixy version availible via a gconf setting) and support for recursive permission changes.

Thunar

The screenshots look a lot like the permissions dialog in Thunar, a file manager for XFCE.

I use both Thunar and Nautilus on my desktop. While Thunar is faster, Nautilus has many more features.

The select boxes for persmissions... that's how thunar does it. But they pop-up a box asking if you want to make your changes recursive.

This isn't bad though. Remove the SELinux crap, and it should be Good-to-go.
