Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Ubuntu 10.10
Using Nautilus, one can select multiple files (or folders) and obtain
their combined Properties. On the Permissions tab of the Properties
window, there is an "Execute" checkbox, which one can check (or
uncheck). So I selected several files, obtained their properties, went
to the Permissions tab, checked "Execute" and then hit "Close". I
naturally expected each file's execute bit to be set. Surprise: None of
the files had their execute bit set.
Nautilus should behave as expected and set (or unset) the flag on each
selected file, *or* it should disable the checkbox to indicate its
unwillingness to be helpful. (Note that changing access permissions in
the same way works, by contrast)
