Changing group name recursively
« on: November 08, 2010, 03:55:45 PM »
Hi JD,

A bug I think: it concerns changing group and permissions recursively with GetInfo.  If I select a folder and then request that Both permissions and group are changed in all contained Files, the process fails to change the group if my requested group name is the same as the group of the folder -- that is, it thinks it doesn't have to change the group.  Instead of "chown 10008 81 myfile.txt" commands being sent to change the group, it sends "chown 10008 myfile.txt" commands.  If I ask for "Apply: Owner & Group" then it works as it should.

Cheers

JD

I've identified the problem, and I'm working on a fix.

Great news.  I use recursive changes quite often so I look forward to the fix.
