Hi,<br>
<br>
Not really an answer but a data point. I'm using Geany 1.25 with Ubuntu <br>
14.04 and I can edit/save executable bash scripts fine without messing <br>
up the permissions. My settings are:<br>
<br>
gio_unsafe_save_backup=no<br>
use_atomic_file_saving=false<br>
use_gio_unsafe_file_saving=true<br>
<br>
The only thing that comes to mind for your problem is that the file <br>
system is not supporting permissions correctly (ex. FAT32, Samba, etc).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Matthew Brush<br>
