Description Frank Steinmetzger 2010-02-19 22:45:18 UTC

Version:           1.4 (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Like the subject says - please add a column to the Details view which shows numerical permissions. They are easier to read if one uses a proportional font, because numbers are usually the same width. On the other hand, wrxr-xr-x and --r--r--r don’t align perfectly under one another.

Also, people with small displays might apreciate the, even though small, gain in screen real estate.

Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2017-09-03 14:03:48 UTC

It doesn't make sense to do this only in Details view, because permissions can be displayed in other places in Dolphin. If we're going to add this option, it should apply everywhere.

just to be clear...
("numerical format" = octal format)
