Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
When you go to update user permission in a folder, Nautilus does not allow you to make it recursive, even though the option is there within the permission dialog as 'Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files' button.
Im doing this while doing 'sudo nautilus --no-desktop' in a terminal. Within XFCE. This Problem ALSO exists while using Gnome so its not specific to Gnome, more likely Nautilus.
I have to go into each and every file and folder and set its permissions even though it seems the recursive functionality already exists.
Im very sure Im not missing anything, and if I am that button is VERY misleading.
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
I was trying to change user permissions using existent conventions within nautilus.
It does not happen.
The version of Nautilus is 2.22.3
