folder sharing and permissions

We think there' s a wrong behaviour when applying "sharing" to a specific folder.


We have a folder defined on "Files and Folders" menu.
It has a default location.

But on certain cases, we need to change that location.
We make that by setting the "identifier" variable of that folder.
This is made on the user interface stage.

Everything is ok and the folder is created on the different location that we specified.

But the "sharing" state is NOT.
it is made on the old default location.

We know that because we made an experiment.
1- Create manually the folder on the default location.
2- Run the installer.


¿Anyway to solve this?

Please answer quickly because we are out of timeline.

Thank you very much.

Re: folder sharing and permissions

The correct solution in that case is to create a property based folder, instead of using a regular one and modifying its identifier. Here are more
details on property-based folders:
