Well, certainly it's own class, possibly SCF class even... but I think it's most sensible to still keep it in vfs.dll/.so. > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: "Eunsoo Roh" <[email protected]> > Date: Jun 12, 2012 6:03 AM > Subject: RE: [Crystal-develop] VFS Permission Management > To: <[email protected]> > > My plan was to make it UNIX-based by default.

For the API then it seems a simply enum would be better... taking a string suggests more flexibility than there really is (after all, only a couple of different literals are supported) or may even mislead (i.e. client thinks the string is an actual user name). > Octal-style > parameters might come much more convenient in this case, so they could be > added as well.

Getting simple Unix-style permissions to work everywhere is probably enough for a start. -f.r. -- NEU: FreePhone 3-fach-Flat mit kostenlosem Smartphone!
