1. When the properties dialogue box is selected for a folder and the "Apply changes to all subfolders and their contents" box is checked under "Permissions", and the changes to permissions are applied, then the changes do not propagate all the way down to all folders and their contents. 2. Instead, the required changes propagate only to the subfolder that immediately follows the folder to which the changes to permissions are applied. 3. Consequently, the permissions have to be applied MANUALLY to each succeeding subfolder until they are propagated to the last subfolder and file.
1. The computer system hardware used to run Linux is an ASUS Netbook. 2. The KDE Standard Desktop was run on Ubuntu Linux 12.10.
Can't reproduce it. Could you attach an archive which contains a simple folders/files hierarchy as test case ?
In order to reproduce it, try the following steps: 1. Create an example directory structure that is at least 5 levels deep. 2. Make all the directories starting from the top level directory "read only" by the owner only using the permissions settings.of the KDE Dolphin properties dialog box. Do this by applying the permissions settings to the top level directory only using the "Apply changes to all subfolders and their contents" check box. 3. Try reading the contents of the various directories in the example directory structure. I found that it did not even let me look at the contents of the directory. 4. Starting with the top level directory, change the permissions to full access by all and try to propagate these changes all the way down the directory structure using the permissions settings.of the KDE Dolphin properties dialogue box and by checking the box for the "Apply changes to all subfolders and their contents" therein. 5. Try to read the directories below the top level directory. I found that I could only read one level below the top level. 6. Repeat step 4. 7. Repeat step 5. I found that I could now read one more level.of directory. 8. In summary, I found that by repeting steps 4 & 5 over and over again I could read more and more levels of the directory structure (one more level for each repetition of steps 4 & 5). 9. Is this how it is supposed to work (the instructions in the properties dialog box, namely, "Apply changes to all subfolders and their contents" seem to suggest otherwise)?

Works for me in KDE Frameworks 5.47.
