Matt, the advanced permissions mode was evidently removed last August: === https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=87cfa404d845cbd59b7bf5c95931aa930dbe3d15 author William Jon McCann <[email protected]> 2012-08-20 18:19:26 (GMT) commit 87cfa404d845cbd59b7bf5c95931aa930dbe3d15 (patch) Remove advanced permissions This mode is worse than useless because it is impossible to find, it complicates the ongoing maintanence of the dialog, and if there is important configuration in it we should be offering it by default without a special hidden mode. === adam On Sun, Jun 23, 2013 at 2:22 PM, Matt B. <[email protected]> wrote: > I've always used dconf-editor to enable the > "show-advanced-permissions" setting for Nautilus Permissions.
