Just tested this one svn version I pulled sec ago and dose same thing it did on beta1. Have only tested this one x86_64 but propably effects all platforms. I have my storage and games arranged so that root is the owner and grouped to either video, music or games (depending on contents) groups that my main user is part of. Both group and owner has full rwx privilages, however thunar does not recognise the user goup and user being in group and those does not allow me to modify folder contents/files forcing me to ol' trusty terminal. Viewing properties on any folder/file with this own/grp combination, permission tab shows root correctly as owner but group field is empty and all boxes are grayed out.
That should be fixed in SVN. Did you make sure to terminate any instances of your beta1 Thunar first (Thunar -q) before testing SVN?
Used svn ebuild in fluidportage, it should remove old version. Just tryed manually pulling from svn to empty folder and buit it without installing but no change.
Yes, but did you terminate any previously running instance? Hint: Thunar -q
OH, yes I did.
Moving to 0.4.0rc1.
I can confirm that. But thanks to You patches from http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1670 all operations could be performed, only Permissions tab is grayed out. - from Thunar 0.3.2beta2
The permissions tab of a file/folder, which you don't own are always grayed out, because you need to either own the file or be the superuser to change the permissions of a file/folder.

Owner is correct, but there is empty entry for group.
Hm, is the group displayed in the detailed list view?
(In reply to comment #9) > Hm, is the group displayed in the detailed list view? > Yes, correct group is displayed there. Also i can say that the group permission is the only on blank in Properties->Permissions tab, access rights are also as they should be.
One more comment. In my case it is nicely shown in /var/spool directory. Antoher thing i spoted there is that group is not missing in all cases ie. /var/spool/mail is missing group mail, but /var/spool/news has news group in grayed out combobox. Difference between these directories is owner, news is owned by news user, but mail by root user.
Created attachment 691 Possible fix Try this patch. It should solve the issue.

I think it could be a problem that is little up, in this function with call to function thunar_vfs_user_get_groups, this could limit group listing. Why here is such a limit?
Because you can only change to a group that you are member of. BTW: Did you really restart Thunar after applying the patch (Thunar -q)? Because I was able to reproduce the problem here, and the patch fixes the issue for me.

May i suggest an small modification to http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentation/installation svn section? Just add this restart thingy there after make install.
Well, it's a wiki. Feel free to update it. ;-)
