           Summary: Recursive permission change does not change file
                    properties as expected (refresh problem too)
           Product: konqueror
           Version: 3.1.4
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: phoenixreads@rogers.com


Version:           3.1.4 (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r2, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.23_pre8-gss

Create ../test [a di

Copying a directory with files & subdirectories from a mounted iso image (mounted by root)

permissions rwxr-xr-x root, root

Copy directory from mounted image 
to ../test 
under user,group 
with rwxr-xr-x permissions
successful

permissions now	r-xr-xr-x  user,group for files
				rwxr-xr-x user,group for sub-directories

Try copying over ../test, opps, write protect, have to change permissions

Right click on properties->permissions for ../test
permissions rwxr-xr-x  user,group
click apply to sub-directories
click ok

no change, files still have 
r-xr-xr-x  user,group 

----- this "trick" works in windows, presumably under the wisdom that if the user does not make a change then do nothing *instead* of if user clicks ok do action.

permissions r-xr-xr-x  user,group
click apply to sub-directories
click ok
permissions rwxr-xr-x  user,group
click apply to sub-directories
click ok

during the first change not even the directories change to r-xr-xr-x and remain at rwxr-xr-x only ../test
--------
Now just to prove it is possible

open up terminal in same Konqueror window, under user

issued chmod -Rv 755 ../test
terminal output shows change
check files (properties) apparently no change
refresh
changes show up
-------
try repeating - Konqueror crashes after close another window :) 
------
relaunch Konqueror

redo the same procedure but it is only *after* I do the Windows "trick" and only *after* I do refresh does Konqueror display the proper information. Refreshing has to be done explictly for each directory I look at.

Two issues...

1) When the user clicks OK the action should be preformed, assuming in this case it is not. One thing to emulate Windows it quite another to emulate its annoyances too. :)

2) I have notice similar behavior about Konqueror refreshing its display. For example, there is a script that process files, it uses an intermediate .tmp file, when it is finished if I look into that directory a few seconds later I see the last .tmp file which the script has delete. I have to do a refresh to get rid of it.
