Change permissions without the Terminal
BatChmod is a 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 or better.
How to batch unlock files and folders on Mac As most of you already know, Mac files can be locked to prevent other people with access to the device from moving or deleting them. However, certain items get locked automatically, which makes managing them quite a nightmare: unlocking them one at a time is a very time-consuming process and there's.
If none 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.
- I'm looking for a way to create a universal (script) file with these commands. I want to be able to run the file on a Mac just by double-clicking on it or dragging the file over the Terminal icon. Impossible for me to open Dropbox in Mac OS X 10.6.8.
- Shell scripts must be executable files in order to run. You can use the chmod command to indicate that the text file is executable (that is, its contents can be run as a shell script). In the Terminal app on your Mac, use the cd command to move into the directory that contains the file you want to make executable.
- Being pretty unfamiliar with batch files, I'm not sure of the functionality available, but there are two main scripting methods on OS X which are similar: AppleScript. AppleScript is a scripting language which lets you control OS X and many applications.
- The same is the case from the command line. There are two commands for moving and copying: mv and cp.The first does the same as dragging a file to a new location on the same hard disk; the second.
Unlock what is rightfully yours
BatChmod can also give you back access to locked files, folders or disks. If something is locked, it can unlock it. If you no longer have permissions to files or folders, change the permissions back.
Sometimes, a whole hard disk can become inaccessible or locked and often, BatChmod can unlock those too!
If you moved a folder or files from another machine or another user on your machine, BatChmod can help set you up as their rightful owner.
Keep your Trash clean
Bat File For Mac Os 10.13
Ah the beauty of a nice clean Trashcan on your Desktop. How annoying when you cannot empty it because some files are thought to be in use by the Finder! BatChmod offers a nice “Force Empty Trash” menu when you click on its icon or when you go to the BatChmod Menu when you run it. Quick and simple and you will never see those files again.
More features:
- Works under Mac OS X 10.5 and better (including 10.14) and is 64-bit Intel native
- Can display the commands which were just ran in case you want to reproduce them
- It now allows entry in Octal if you like (through the Info Window)
- And probably some other stuff we just cannot recall right now
