#19284 new bug

MKV files mistakenly identified as executable on network shares — at Version 5

Reported by: grexe Owned by: pdziepak
Priority: normal Milestone: Unscheduled
Component: File Systems/NFS4 Version: R1/beta5
Keywords: Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: All

Description (last modified by grexe)

(please change the title accordingly, I don't know why I only noticed/checked MKV files, this applies to all files on all my NFS drives - suggested title: Files with user:group other than 1000:1000 are treated as executables ).

Tracker displays and treats files on my NFSv4 network shares as executables and I cannot select a suitable app for opening them as a consequence. When manually opening, e.g., a PDF document with BePDF, it's displayed just fine.

I get the warning message that they are wrongly marked as executable and if I wanted to fix that, but it doesn't help.

When inspecting the file information using "Get Info" and checking permissions, I see that files with user/group 1000:1000 with owner r/w/x permissions can at least be opened with the default app correctly, but they are still displayed with a generic text icon and a "Kind" attribute of "Generic file".

This behaviour is inconsistent and wrong. A PDF is a PDF no matter the permissions, so file types should be deduced accordingly (they are readable after all).

Using today's nightly hrev58442.

What does the permissions display show?

comment:3 by grexe, 6 weeks ago

Owner has r/w/x. User/group 3000 set to server-managed share:share. Access works fine, just the display is wrong.

Are you sure the display is wrong? If the "x" bit is set, then Tracker's behavior is expected.
