Hello!

I've transfered quite some files with migration assistant over the year and recently I am trying to use some files I haven't used for a few years.

The thing is that permissions are totally screwed up in these folders, and if I change permissions on the folder containing those files, and choose "Apply to enclosing items" it does nothing.

Here is a pic showing the permissions:

As you see there is two "everyone" which I believe is the culprit.
I know I can change one by one file, but this is several hundred documents and it is gonna take ages.

Is there a quick way to clean this up? I'm not afraid to use the terminal if that is the fastest solution

Thanks!
