https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406558 Summary: allow users to change the owner of folders Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Applications AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: sven.burmeister@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- If a user attaches a newly partitioned external harddisk the partitions are only writeable by root. It is not possible to change the ownership of those folders as user unless one knows about konqueror in root-mode or uses the konsole. The same issue arises, if one backs-up data and has a different UID when installing a new system. KDE offers the permissions-tab in the properties of a folder, yet the user cannot change the owner, which should be possible and trigger a kdesu-dialogue that asks for the root-password. while this is too late for KDE 4.1, it might not be too late for opensuse's 4.1 packages. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
