Question: I have been copying a few graphics files while being logged in as administrator from another computer to a friends account on my iBook. (Just for backup purposes, really). But if I now open those while being logged into my friends account, I am not able to save any changes. I have to chose "Save as..." instead, as I don't have permission to modify the originals.
Which is, of course, understandable. I was copying the files as administrator, so they are the administrators files now. Here comes the annoying part. I choose "get info" on the folder containing all the files and set the permissions like I need to have them and click on the button below to use these permissions for all the files contained, too.
But that doesn't work! Never has, for as often I have tried it (several times over the years since 10.0). The only option would be to set permissions for every single file after the other. This can't be true, can it? There must be some way to do this quick, that I have missed all those years, right?
