At long last I’m finally switching operating system for my gaming PC. I have a lot of photos and such saved that have been moved from an NTFS drive. Is there any tool out there to help me fix the permissions of these files according to file type in bulk?

If you need finer control than recursive
chmod(see other replies), you can also usefindto match precisely which files/folders you want and use the-execparameter to runchmodon thoseI wanted to write the same thing. E.g., you can run this in bash to set the permissions for all .conf files to 600:
find /mnt/the/directory -iname "*.conf" -exec chmod 600 {} \;
Chmod works recursively.
What modes exactly are you trying to set? Why do you need different perms based on the file type?
