http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=542596 Summary: recursive setting of ownership fails if directory already matches the ownership requested Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Applications AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: dbolt.abiryy@davjam.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.22pre) Gecko/20081213 SUSE/2.0.0.21post-0.1 Firefox/2.0.0.22pre Mnenhy/0.7.6.666 Using Konqueror or Dolphin to recursively set the ownership of files in a directory fails if the directory already has the ownership requested. E.g. if I have files in my ${HOME}/Documents directory that have a group ownership of something other than users, using Konqueror or Dolphin to set their ownership to users fails if you use the permissions tab of the properties to set them. Enabling the "Apply recursively" checkbox makes no difference as there appears to be a check to see if the directory already matches the ownership and no ownership changes are made if it does. Interestingly, I also checked to see if file permissions were also affected by this check and they are not. When the "Apply recursively" checkbox is checked, there is a recursive scan taking place and the file permissions appear to be correctly set. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change group ownership of a file inside a directory, for instance to group video. 2. Open either Konqueror or Dolphin so the directory is visible 3. Right-click on the directory and select Properties from the pop-up menu 4. Change to the permissions tab and check the "Apply recursively" checkbox 5. Click on "Okay" Actual Results: If the group ownership of the directory isn't changed, any files with a differing group ownership are left with their original group ownership. Expected Results: As with the file permissions, any files with differing ownerships should be changed to those requested. If the directory ownership is users, and that is unchanged, files and directories below it should have their group changed to users. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
