Re: show-advanced-permissions setting needed

Matt,

the advanced permissions mode was evidently removed last August:

commit 87cfa404d845cbd59b7bf5c95931aa930dbe3d15 (patch)

Remove advanced permissions

This mode is worse than useless because it is impossible to find,

it complicates the ongoing maintanence of the dialog, and if there

is important configuration in it we should be offering it by default

without a special hidden mode.

I've always used dconf-editor to enable the "show-advanced-permissions" setting for Nautilus Permissions. Upon installing Ubuntu 13.04 with GNOME 3.6 (I believe) I cannot find the setting. It's historically been located at dconf-editor> org> gnome> nautilus> preferences> show-advanced-permissions. Perhaps the setting has been moved? The advanced-permissions makes managing file/folder permissions a lot easier and is a must-have setting. I set up Ubuntu computers thru the office and everyone prefers the advanced-permissions to the current default. Another advantage to advanced-permissions is that it allows users control over the execute permission across User/Group/Other (whereas the default GUI only allows it to be set on or off for all three categories). I hope show-advanced-permissions wasn't removed? That would be a bad move. I ask that it please be reinstated in dconf-editor in the next GNOME release or that the advanced-permission view be made the default. I filed a bug report but it has received no attention: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702685
