Properties menu - change attributes recursively.

Post by *Cvulturbo »

hello
I find the function of change file attributes very useful. I tested new features of Properties menu of selected files and all seems works well. it would be not bad to have the opportunity to change permissions of files and uid/gid recursively.

When I change attributes, there is only Apply button, but it closes menu and does not give access to the RECURCIVE button.

found little disproportion.

when i go file-Properties menu and try change attributes, TC shows toast:
chmod : changing permission of /storage/emulated/0 / file.txt : Operation not permitted
chmod : cannot access /storage/emulated/ 0 / file.txt : No such file or directory.

if i try change date TC shows big message:
Access denied!
Error: 2
/storage/emulated/0/file.txt

if i try change uid/gid, toast appears:
Error!
Error: 2

Most of Androids uses /storage/emulated/0 as sdcard. /storage/emulated/0 is a abbreviated path of /storage/emulated/legacy -> /mnt/shell/emulated/0. not all apps can access this path, these include su (and rooted apps). unfortunately, TC itself cannot access this path.

Yes, change file attributes on the sd card does not make sense, but these actions gives no errors with vfat otg-usb mounted. (for both /storage/usbdisk and /mnt/ media_rw/usbdisk).

I found a solution:
cp -d /storage/emulated/legacy /storage/emulated/0. This is just bugreport.
