Description antonio 2021-10-29 19:34:49 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create a file on the desktop

2. Click on the mouse right button -> Properties -> Permissions


OBSERVED RESULT

Unable to change user/group.

Note that the same operation made in the Dolphin (same dialog box) is possible because the fields are editable.


EXPECTED RESULT

That the properties window called from the desktop has the same functionality as the dialog box called by Dolphin (also, when the user changes user/group, you must automatically update the desktop otherwise the previous values are shown).

Works for me.

Comment 2 Bug Janitor Service 2021-11-01 20:47:57 UTC

A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/623

Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2021-11-01 20:48:22 UTC

Note that you can only change the user if you're root, otherwise the user combobox isn't shown. So it's only the group combobox that's not working here.

KPropertiesDialog: use the KFileItem when checkig if the url is local

This way we can ge the most local url and urls under e.g. desktop:/ will be
detected as local.

This fixes an issue where opening the properties dialog with a file in
desktop:/ wouldn't show the group combobox (which allows users to change the
group).
FIXED-IN: 5.88
