If you use KDE, you can right click on the folder that contains them and |
| 17 |
change the permissions then check the box that says to make it apply to |
| 18 |
everything in the folder. That way you can change a lot of them at |
| 19 |
once. I also noticed a while back that if I am in Konqueror as root and |
| 20 |
copy to my user desktop, it changes the permissions to my regular user. |
| 21 |
I never noticed that before. |

Does that help? |
