Dear All, I used to move tons of files as root to /home/username/ being in different subfolders. In case after that I did chown/chgrp from the command-line with the '-R' option for the whole above folder, without any problems I could setup the correct owner/group. But as first I tried this task under KDE with Konqueror. I attempted to change the properties of folders/files on the "Permissions" Tab, defined the correct username and groupname, and marked the "Apply changes to all subfolders and their contents" as well. The results were fairly not the same comparing to the command-line situation, because in this second case there were "always" some internal files "deeper" in subfolders, still keeping the original owner and/or group as root... Is there such a huge difference how file- and foldernames get interpreted through the command-line and KDE; maybe I got some problems with special characters, or something like that. Upgrading to KDE3.3 didn't solve this "problem", after multiple tries only the command-line method was 100% sure... By the way is there a way to set the correct ownership data, and also the correct rights somehow automatically while the files/folders get into the user's home folder? Can I define a general property for directories and files with a different schema, let's say separatelly: so everytime something arrives to the user's home it should be evaluated by checking, is it file or folder, and after that it should take the predefined ownership/rigths data?! Thanks a lot, Peli
