BatChmod is a Cocoa utility for manipulating file and folder privileges in Mac OS X.
It allows the manipulation of ownership as well as the privileges associated to the Owner, Group or others. It can also unlock files in order to apply those privileges and finally, it can remove any ACLs added to a folder or file under Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard if required.
If non of this makes sense to you, maybe BatChmod is not for you :-) It has the potential to mangle your files if you do not know what you are doing. ESPECIALLY if you change the permission of your whole disk at once... just don’t do that.
It is quite useful to gain control back of a folder you moved from another machine or another user on your machine.
Oh, and it can empty the trash on all mounted volumes too, even if the Trash doesn’t seem cooperative.
BatChmod is free as always. But we have had to move it to a commercial web server for it to be available at all times. If you would like to help pay for this bandwith you can make a donation using the button below.
More features:
- Works under Mac OS X 10.5 and is Intel native
- Can display the commands which were just run in case you want to know
- And probably some other stuff I canot recall
