Recurring issue where events created by one user show up as damaged when opened by another user (on same Mac). Libraries live on external hard drives. I have opened the permissions on the Library but now I have to do individual events as well? There has to be an easier way.
How can I set a user to make new files that are permissioned Read & Write for all users?
Do you have “Ignore Ownership on this Volume” set for this drive?
What’s the drive and how is it formatted? Does the drive have read/write for everybody including all content? Post screenshots of your drive and library permissions.
Yes I had this selected, but it turns out I had not clicked the hidden button that says "apply selection to all items within" or something like that. Thanks for pointing me the way there!
Libraries and different user accounts
