If you: | |
a) Hilight **multiple files at the same time** in the FileBase interface | |
-and- | |
b) Click the Download button or pick Download from the File menu (but **not** if | |
you download by dragging and dropping) | |
FileBase will clobber the permissions (but not the owner) of the **folder you're | |
downloading your files into**. This will temporarily lock you out of the folder, | |
causing Finder to throw up an error message when you try to open it. The fix is | |
easy. Get Info on the folder in Finder, scroll down, and grant yourself | |
permission to access to the folder again. Unfortunately, if you've set advanced | |
permissions on the effected folder, they'll likely be lost and you'll have to | |
set them up again. | |
This does not affect drag & drop downloads at all; it only affects download | |
operations that cause a save dialog box to come up asking you to pick a folder | |
but not a file name. This is only triggered as described above. | |
I'm sorry if this bites you. I'll have a fix out soon. |
