Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
When looking at a file's permissions in Nautilus (non-root) there is no way to change the file ownership. While I understand the reasoning for this I think the program would be well served with the addition of that ability and a prompt to enter root mode to perform the action. Currently the only way to set the file owner is to either use the terminal, or to launch Nautilus as root.
I think that Nautilus should offer full functionality to the regular user and simply prompt for root credentials when the action requires it (sort of a built in sudo).
Is this something we can add?
This 'bug' exists in Ubuntu 10.04 with all recent updates.
