Permissions not propagating [solved]

Permissions not propagating
Using jD 4.0.24 but think this was also the case with earlier versions - so apologies for not reporting earlier.

It seems that UG permissions are not propagating from top level categories to sub-cats and Downloads.

The Global permissions for jDownloads has Public as Allowed.
Pic 'Categories Arrangement.png' shows how the categories are arranged.
pic 'Top Level Category Permissions.png' shows that the top level cat 'Public Downloads' has pubic permission as Allowed
Pic 'sub-cat-permissions, which is a sub cat of 'Public Downloads', has not inherited the relevant permissions.

I belive this is because I uploaded all of the Cats and Downloads  into dir jdownloads and then used 'Check Download Area' to create them.   Also had 'automatically publish newfound items as Yes


However if I create a new sub-cat it does receive the permission from its parent AOK

Hi Colin,
didn't you already report it here?
https://www.jdownloads.com/forum/index.php?topic=13922.0

But I could not reproduce the problem. Perhaps I also lacked this information:

So I will try it now again in this way.

Thought I should report again as I was very puzzled why this was happening on my test site but not for you or others.
Then I realised the pocedure I use for a new XAMMP site to populate would probably not be used by other people.

I have now tried your scenario with a new (but not empty) version 4.0.25 installation.

- I created 3 new folders
- I have copied 3 files in the level 3 category
- started scan process default settings (but access = registered)
- the result was correct (all levels and and also the Downloads have a public download permission (as expected).

But I will try it later another time on a server installation.

yes it now seems AOk
Used a completely new Joomla! 4 and jD4.0.25

The only challenge is that when running Check Download Area and there is somthing added then the 'Finished! You can now close this window.' does not close!!
I looked ate the generated code and that seems OK
<input type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-block btn-sm" style="max-width:350px;" value="Finished! You can now close this window." onclick="windowClose();">
