10.5: Enable default permissions on shared folders
Authored by: Kan-O-Z on Mon, Jun 2 2008 at 12:07PM PDT

Text Edit does not seem to work but some other applications like iWork does. For example after following the instructions about to set up a folder for sharing, a new file created by Text Edit does not follow the ACL permission rules but other applications like Finder and iWork does. TextEdit continues to generate files with permissions assigned to the owner so no one else can modify the files. Any ideas why Text Edit doesn't work. Is this a bug?
