Folder lock out bug in FileBase 0.6
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.
