switch to Leopard …

Hello

I decided to change the way I use my G5.
Now, the main OS is 10.5.8 and I run 10.4.11 only for specific needs.

I got a small problem:
When I take a screenshot, it's saved on my second HD.

The problem is that the files are
read & write for me but read only for other users so, the app which I use to add them an icon is unable to do its duty.
I must change the permissions by hand.


I wrote a folder action script supposed to do the trick by itself :

[SCRIPT]
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
 set le_dossier_unix to quoted form of POSIX path of this_folder
 do shell script "chmod -R 777 " & le_dossier_unix
 end adding folder items to --
[/SCRIPT]

But it changes nothing.

I must run an other script stored in the target folder :

[SCRIPT]
set this_folder to path to me
tell application "System Events"
 set this_folder to path of (container of this_folder)
end tell
set le_dossier_unix to quoted form of POSIX path of this_folder
do shell script "chmod -R 777 " & le_dossier_unix -
[/SCRIPT]

Question (1) : Is it a way to change the screenshot tool to apply an other set of permissions ?

Question (2) : Is it normal that the folder actions script doesn't it's duty when a screenshot is created in it ?

Question (3) with the parms passed to chmod, the permissions are OK but the small lock at the bottom_right of the infos window is closed.
Is it a setting allowing to unlock it ?


Thanks in advance.
