Quicker shell command
This should go a bit faster from the command line prompt:
Quicker shell command
That works well, and thanks for putting me on the right track, but you don't need to change the owner or the group. Instead just add write privileges to the group that the .DS_Store files already belong to (Admin). If you're logged in to an Admin account, you're good to change prefs and they'll be remembered.

Sorry, what would the command be to "just add write privileges to the group that the .DS_Store files already belong to (Admin)."?
Quicker shell command
is it this:

thanks man pages - i think this is it - a command to find all the .DS_Store files owned by root and change their group from wheel to admin
how to make new windows remember?

Indeed - does anyone know how to stop the system from making new directories
root-owned .DS_Store files
.DS_Store are created with ownership of the current Finder user. If
you're seeing root-owned .DS_Store files they've probably been added by running
authenticated installers; that's how they've gotten onto my systems anyway.
Or you're running Finder as root? :-)
If you're logged in as a non-root user and new .DS_Store files in folders you create with Finder are owned as root then things get tricker. There's no reason to over-speculate about possible causes without more detailed information about your system/environment. Seems better to start with simple explanations. |
