           Summary: No way to add a default entry for "Others" through the
                    ACL directory permissions dialog
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: slammer at o2.pl


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Using a command line it is possible to add a default ACL entry for "others" to
a directory issuing:
setfacl -m d:o:rwx dirname
but such an option does not exist in the ACL directory permissions dialog (for
a directory on a filesystem mounted with acl option > directory's 'Properties'
context menu option > Advanced Permissions > Add Entry...). 
The dialog there, when chosen a Default entry type, only has an option to set
it  for the owner, owning group, named group, named user or setting a default
mask which doesn't let one achieve the "Others" effect.

The feature is really useful when one wants to have a directory with a specific
permission for 'Others' on newly created files and subdirectories in that
directory, e.g. for a public folder, where everyone needs to be able to create
and modify its contents even in the subdirectories created later by users.

Also, to be more specific, the 'Default for new files in this folder' option
could mention that it also applies to subfolders.
