Dolphin warning when moving files to ntfs (file permissions) [SOLVED]

Whenever I move files to one of my ntfs partitions, dolphin gives me a warning for every moved file:

"Could not change permissions for <file>."

My fstab for these partitions looks like this:

# <file system>        <dir>           <type>    <options>                          <dump> <pass>
UUID=xyz123            /mnt/ntfs1      ntfs-3g    relatime,gid=users,umask=0000        0       2

Is there some way to disable this warning in dolphin or by changing fstab?

EDIT:
I fixed it by changing fstab to:

# <file system>        <dir>           <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
UUID=xyz123            /mnt/ntfs1      ntfs-3g    defaults                0              2

Re: Dolphin warning when moving files to ntfs (file permissions) [SOLVED]

I don't know how to disable warning in Dolphin but the reason it gives you a warning is because ntfs doesn't support permissions so ntfs-3g emulates 777 for every file in order to make it work. For example if you copy file with 644 permission, in order for it to reside in ntfs partition it must be changed to 777 and that's why dolphin complains.
