Ya know, I really don't even want to ask as I don't want to be a pest, but, I haven't found a good example of setting the umask prior to launching geany.  I would like to set the umask and  have it tied to geany only.  I run a lot of unattended processes, so, the line of thinking is if I make some type of global change I could introduce a problem to another program.

I can confirm that the "save as" feature works as described in this thread.  No +x attribute on the saved file.

Thanks

Sorry initially misread your comment, you said "save as"

But the reason is the same as below, it creates a new file, which will
get its protection from the current umask.

That *is* desired behaviour because it is how all Unix systems work,
we should not be different.  Users would be surprised if Geany
behavior is different to all others and there is no guarantee that we
can actually set any specific protections since the user may not have
sufficient permission to do so due to the umask.

Cheers again
