Hi Mark, I did discuss how to change file permissions via the GUI rather than the terminal. I too find this method much simpler, even with the bit of linux/terminal knowledge that I have.
I was just wondering if you hit apply to all items before copying the files over. I figured that should work in theory and that you shouldn't have to go back into that dialogue. I'd test this theory myself, but the drive I was using for time machine backups crashed.
