Hello WiX developers, I'm going to file a feature request and would like to verify if it's worth registering.
The actual custom action, which PermissionEx element results in, called ExecSecureObjects considers SUB_CONTAINERS_AND_OBJECTS_INHERIT option the best for folders and NO_INHERITANCE for everything else. I think it would be nice to extend PermissionEx element with extra attribute, Inherit, resulting in an extra column in SecureObjects table. Of course, this should make sense for CreateFolder and Registry entities only. And instead of hard coding the inheritance options, the ExecSecureObjects action will read it from CustomActionData. The reason I consider it helpful is when applying permissions to existent folder with lots of files and subfolders, this takes time. Especially if there's no recursion required... Are there any pitfalls in this extension? If not, what are the chances for it to be implemented soon? :-) (I know I always have a fallback option to implement it myself :-)) Thank you. -- Yan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
