But this behavior makes no sense at all.
An accidental copy/paste means you cannot return the permissions to their default state without disabling SIP. Presumably the default permission is a good one, otherwise, if it’s so terrible that it’s a good idea to make it so difficult to go back to it, then why is it the default?
- jackhack 7y agoexactly. It's user hostile to correct/undo the action. A 2 second drag-drop mistake requires the following to correct it: 1. realize mistake / stop-everything-you're-doing 2. reboot to recovery mode 3. change SIP setting --> disabled 4. reboot to normal OS 5. delete attribute you never wanted 6. reboot to Recovery again 7. re-enable SIP 8. reboot to normal OS and get back to work if you can remember what you were even doing 20 minutes ago. That's "user hostile" in my book.
- ridiculous_fish 7y agoWhy would you bother to do any of that? If you accidentally allow an unsandboxed app to access ~/Downloads without prompting, it's just like using a Windows or Linux or Mojave system. Who cares?
