While the ability to set permissions recursively is useful, I'd like to have the option to turn it off by default. I don't know how many times I've accidentally set the executable bit on all the files in a folder when I was intending just to change the permissions on the folder (and not on any subfolders). And I wouldn't even have realized I was doing it except that I got an error message when the setting of permissions on a subfolder owned by another user failed. Great feature, but needs more control. Thanks.
