Re: Finder Get Info not allowing permission change with CXFS

This works with 10.2.8, using the same code. So, any ideas what has changed in Finder? And what we can do about it? What does the "Format" item in the Info window show? It seems that Finder has a special case for certain volume formats (UFS, NFS, AppleShare, HFS Plus, HFS Plus Journaled) and only shows the detailed privileged view for those formats. I'd encourage you to file a bug to request a generic interface for this. <http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/> As to why this worked on 10.2.x, I don't really know. However, looking at the source it seems that there was a major rework of the dialog between 10.2.x and 10.3.
