When double click on a directory for which the user does not have execute permission, there is no error. You are shown an empty directory. Ideally, a permission denied error should be displayed. Alternatively, some kind of emblem must be shown against the folder and nothing should happen when you click on it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Hehe, I was thinking the same while fixing the crash. ;-)
Committed with revision 19695. 2006-01-31 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar-vfs/thunar-vfs-scandir.c: Return an error when trying to scan a directory for which the user has no execute permissions. Bug #1408. * thunar/thunar-file.c(thunar_file_get_emblem_names): Add "cant-read" emblem to folders, where we don't have permissions to enter. Second part of fix for bug #1408.
The permissions chooser also displays a warning now for folders whose r and x bits are inconsistent.
