It's the permalink.
Every time you click on a checkbox the permalink is change according to the permission, so its easier to copy the permalink.
Therefore when you click the back button you're going to the previous state.

Neat. I suggest adding an explanation of what the special bits do (tooltip type of help on clicking the link?), as this is what's not obvious for most people.

Yeah, same problem here. At first I thought he had skipped out on allowing you to type the mask, which is the killer feature of a utility like this.
Also, when typing into the binary input, it isn't updating immediately on key-up like the rest of the inputs -- I'm having to hit the arrow keys to get it to update.

This is pretty cool and well done, but I kind of wish there was no need for this to exist.
It seems that as the world progresses to higher level language, bit manipulations and binary calculation are the realm of dinosaurs.
Every time you click on a checkbox the permalink is change according to the permission, so its easier to copy the permalink. Therefore when you click the back button you're going to the previous state.
Do you think its not a good behavior?
edit: Actually it doesn't uncheck, it just changes the permalink as if I unchecked. Definitely not the expected behavior. (this is on FF31 Linux)
I fixed it - and now its work with replaceState.
It's won't update until you load it without cache: ctrl+shift+R
Also, love the use of .ninja domain - definitely most appropriate usage I've seen to date!
I didn't because i wrote a small command line utility to open the site with the right parameters.
You can also use it (instructions for ubuntu):
Copy the folowing to file with the name per:
#!/bin/bash
NC='\e[0m' # No Color
green='\e[0;32m'
blue='\e[0;34m'
if [ "$#" == "0" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 filename" exit 1 fi
if [ "$#" != "1" ]; then
red='\e[0;31m'
echo -e "${red}$# Is illegal number of parameters.${NC}" exit 1 fi
usage(){
echo -e '\tper'
echo -e '\tOpen http://file-permissions.ninja with permission of the file.'
exit 1
}
if [ "$1" == "help" ] || [ "$1" == "-help" ] || [ "$1" == "-h" ] ; then
usage
fi
mode="`LC_ALL=C LANG=C /bin/ls -ld "$1" | LC_ALL=C LANG=C awk '{ print $1 }'`" || exit $?
echo -e "${blue}Opening: ${green}http://file-permissions.ninja/#$mode${NC}"
xdg-open 'http://file-permissions.ninja/#'$mode &> /dev/null
exit 0
# EOF ----------------------------------
Move per to folder within the path.
Let's say:
sudo mv per /bin
Now grant it execute permission:
sudo chmod +x /bin/per
Now you can use it with:
per filename
it's supposed to open the site with the permissions of filename.
Also, when typing into the binary input, it isn't updating immediately on key-up like the rest of the inputs -- I'm having to hit the arrow keys to get it to update.
Nice utility, though!
I don't use numpad keys so i forgot to add them to the whitelist.
And yes - there is a small bug with the binary input. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
I'll fix these two issues!
Now add an advanced mode for easy configuring setfacl :P
Have you thought about the ugoa/rwx... etc. version of the flags, i.e. partial setting?
Working on it...
Can be found here: https://github.com/usablica/intro.js
Now it should work with the number pad.
To make it work load it without cache: ctrl+shift+R
Thanks for the comment!
