It would definitely be a good thing if Frontview did what you described. Either way, from now on, I don't plan to jump past any FW versions that contain significant changes that prevent you from rolling back to a prior version.
I was also advised my L3 that I should set the share folder owner and group on the advanced options tab to admin admin. This is their current recommended default setting for user mode. Unfortunately, it doesn’t automatically get set this when creating a new share. New shares are still set to nobody/nogroup which is a carryover from share mode that has been phased out.
I’ve been setting my share folder user to admin and group to the primary user group that I had created the share for based on my understanding gleaned from articles written by other here. I’ve now changed this to the L3 recommendation of admin/admin.
