Version: 3.1.4 (using KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: Gentoo Compiler: gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r2, propolice) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.23_pre8-gss Create ../test [a di Copying a directory with files & subdirectories from a mounted iso image (mounted by root) permissions rwxr-xr-x root, root Copy directory from mounted image to ../test under user,group with rwxr-xr-x permissions successful permissions now r-xr-xr-x user,group for files rwxr-xr-x user,group for sub-directories Try copying over ../test, opps, write protect, have to change permissions Right click on properties->permissions for ../test permissions rwxr-xr-x user,group click apply to sub-directories click ok no change, files still have r-xr-xr-x user,group ----- this "trick" works in windows, presumably under the wisdom that if the user does not make a change then do nothing *instead* of if user clicks ok do action. permissions r-xr-xr-x user,group click apply to sub-directories click ok permissions rwxr-xr-x user,group click apply to sub-directories click ok during the first change not even the directories change to r-xr-xr-x and remain at rwxr-xr-x only ../test -------- Now just to prove it is possible open up terminal in same Konqueror window, under user issued chmod -Rv 755 ../test terminal output shows change check files (properties) apparently no change refresh changes show up ------- try repeating - Konqueror crashes after close another window :) ------ relaunch Konqueror redo the same procedure but it is only *after* I do the Windows "trick" and only *after* I do refresh does Konqueror display the proper information. Refreshing has to be done explictly for each directory I look at. Two issues... 1) When the user clicks OK the action should be preformed, assuming in this case it is not. One thing to emulate Windows it quite another to emulate its annoyances too. :) 2) I have notice similar behavior about Konqueror refreshing its display. For example, there is a script that process files, it uses an intermediate .tmp file, when it is finished if I look into that directory a few seconds later I see the last .tmp file which the script has delete. I have to do a refresh to get rid of it.
Does this problem still exist in KDE 3.5?
Trying to change the group from users to video recursively by the graphical surface, the changes appear to some inodes and to others not. root dir: changed other subdirs: not changed files at the very bottom: all of them except the first one changed!!! After pressing F5 in all dirs the changes are viewed correctly.
The rights modification and the rights refresh works for me in kde4 snv trnk r831729.
jamie are you sure? i tested with r871301, modification works ok but the refresh not.
to reproduce in short: create a dir and therein subdirs. adjust the permissions of the top-level dir, the view wont get updated even if you descend into the dirs, after f5 everything is ok. i couldnt reproduce the crash the reporter mentioned. the change of the permissions also works fine.
Can you reproduce this bug using Dolphin in KDE 4 ?
Please, would you like to check the bug using a more recent KDE version like 4.3 or trunk? Many thanks.
Closing for lack of feedback. Feel free to reopen if you can reproduce this in Konqueror 4.8.4 or later.
