[Geany-devel] file attributes on a linux system

[worthspending]

The question of how new files don't have +x using "save as" and do have +x
might be answered with the following observation.

- Create a new file File->New, then, File->Save, then, check the attribute:
 No +x on the new file
- Create a new file File->New, then, File->Save As, then, check the
attribute: No +x on the new file

I'm using the Tree Browser plugin, so...
- Create a new file by right mouse click on the directory in the tree
browser and enter the name of the new file directly into the text field in
the list.  Hit enter to finish and create the file.  Check the attribute
and it has +x on the new file.

I wonder if this is worthy of filing an issue report for the tree browser
plugin.
