[Feature request] Enhance recursive File-Properties handling

Please enhance/fix recursive handling in totalcommander for android.

currently it doesn't work for owner and permissions. which is quite an important feature for migrating data to a new device.

for example after coping the migrated date from the old device to /data/data/nl.asymmetrics.droidshows i would love to simply click on properties on the nl.asymmetrics.droidshows folder and press premissions, presse recursive (or check a "include subfolder" checkbox) and get the whole permissions applied to all the files and folders in this folder.

nl.asymmetrics.droidshows
UID: 10099 Droidshows
GID: 10099 Droidshows

for example
/data/data/nl.asymmetrics.droidshows/databases
should also be 10099/10099


also date/time has a bug:

This happens because you shouldn't set the same permissions to files and folders.

but i would like to set the owner (and sometimes also permissions) recursive. it would be the same as totalcommander for windows handles it.

in totalcommander for windows i am able to messup my permissions, with a `chown ugo:+rwX /` i also can messup my permissions. i think all (or most of the) totalcommander users want more as the windows explorer or the native android filemanager can give them.

pushing me and them to the shell, to safe us from doing something wrong, isn't really that what we are looking for when using totalcommander.
