Some years/versions ago I found a script that took the Directory group/permissions of the current folder for NEW files Sub-Folders

Currently when I import Photographs into 12.04 using Shotwell, I have to use terminal to issue: chgrp photography *.JPG. This enables other ubuntu members of 'photography' group to add these files to their version of Shotwell.

I find modifying the Folder Properties/Permissions will NOT set the Group on 'Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files'
