Bug Description
Currently folders have the same permission labels as files do. This does not reflect what permissions really govern and "execute" permission makes no sense at all.
The permission to "read" a folder is actually a permission to *list* files in it, and the permission to "execute" a folder is the permission to *access* its contents. The labels should be changed to reflect this.

So, the "read" buttons should be "list contents"?
"Execute" should be "access" or "read"?
