Created attachment 5239 screenshot of the bug. Note : New folder in the screenshot is in an ntfs volume When copying a file to a ntfs formatted volume thunar displays an error message "Error setting permissions.". This message is always shown irrespective of the source file location i.e it is in a ntfs partition or ext4 partition. But the file is being copied successfully. Only that the error message is displayed when it is not an error. Attached a scrrenshot of the bug.
I'm also seeing this when copying to an ntfs-3g mounted partition. I'm running Fedora 20.
fyi: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1293754
I'd just like to add that this bug causes additional problems with Move operations, since it will copy the file to the new location, but not delete the original file afterwards.

I suffered from this bug a while ago, but it seems fixed on my machine. Since I believe nothing in thunar has changed, this is very likely a problem in an external component, or maybe a configuration problem. I am not sure which component could have caused this, though. ntfs-3g[2228]: Version 2014.2.15 external FUSE 29 ntfs-3g[2228]: Mounted /dev/sde1 (Read-Write, label "Empty", NTFS 3.1) ntfs-3g[2228]: Cmdline options: rw,nodev,nosuid,uhelper=udisks2 ntfs-3g[2228]: Mount options: rw,nodev,nosuid,uhelper=udisks2,allow_other,nonempty,relatime,fsname=/dev/sde1,blkdev,blksize=4096 ntfs-3g[2228]: Ownership and permissions disabled, configuration type 1 So if you still have this problem, try to update your ntfs3g, glib (2.42.1 here), udisks (2.1.4). I am closing this as invalid because I do not believe this is to be bug in thunar. Feel free to reopen if you still have these problems after updating.
