Link to Application.... Empty owner !!!

[xchris]

Hello,

I just gave a try to Kubuntu (12.10 x64) , I used a lot of distros at the past but not Kubuntu...

The OS is nice and fast, but I just discovered a somewhat strange behaviour, I am not sure is a bug. I never saw this on previous KDE I used (OpenSUSE / Fedora / Mint).

When I create a new link to application, the link has empty access permissions, (no way cannot be edited) , the executable button is disabled too.

I really have no clue what is going on. I created a new user, I have the same problem.....

If any help/ideas please let me know

cheers

chris

This is not a kde issue, symlinks do not have premissions like normal files:

james@Athena ~ % [B]touch file
[/B]james@Athena ~ %[B] ln -s file link[/B]
james@Athena ~ %[B] ls -l link file[/B]
-rw-r--r-- 1 james users 0 Dec 13 13:08 file
lrwxrwxrwx 1 james users 4 Dec 13 13:08 link -> file
james@Athena ~ % [B]chmod +x link[/B]
james@Athena ~ %[B] ls -l link file[/B]
-rwxr-xr-x 1 james users 0 Dec 13 13:08 file*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 james users 4 Dec 13 13:08 link -> file*
james@Athena ~ %[B] chmod -x link[/B]
james@Athena ~ %[B] ls -l link file[/B]
-rw-r--r-- 1 james users 0 Dec 13 13:08 file
lrwxrwxrwx 1 james users 4 Dec 13 13:08 link -> file
james@Athena ~ %

arghh,.. I did not noticed the notice "This file uses advanced permissions" and I had the impression that the file properties works like the xfce/gnome (desktop launcher) , sorry about it..
many thanks for the reply!
