If I select all the files and use ctrl + x c it just asks me to change permissions to all the selected files individually and if I do it at the directory level all of the files inside are unaffected. Is there a way to change the permissions of all the selected files at once?

Chmod, Chown and Advanced Chown don't work recursively. Use External Panelize command to list all your files in a panel, select some or all files and execute Chmod.

1Set, Set All and Set Marked do different things but neither run recursively AFAIK. – phd May 24 '17 at 20:03

So that is good to know, that makes mc chown and chmod totally useless, as I always do these recursively. – Markus Bawidamann Feb 03 '23 at 03:45
