File Permissions in Nautilus

Submitted by stro on Wed, 2006-06-21 09:55. 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.

I really can't feel great

I really can't feel great about changes in Nautilus, because those changes neglect real needs, concentrating on minor things.

Agreed that it is a minor thing. But the way people complain about it you would think they were being continually stabbed in the eye. As for ACLs being a real need, I'll grant that there are usage scenarios where ACLs are both needed and desired, but I have to side with the Gnome developers in putting them at a low priority. Not only is it difficult to do a good ACL dialog correctly (Sun's is a horrible ripoff of the Windows dialog which is a usability nightmare), there just aren't very many situations where ACLs are necessary. I would rather see lingering printing, Windows network browsing, gnome-vfs, and speed issues ironed out first.
