Thanks Lex. The use_atomic_file_saving was not set.

Wonder how they came up with that name. ;-)

Geany is really handy as a pocket.

I found that settings for build commands are kept in filetypes.sh and filetypes.common.

I zipped copies of them and sent them to my backup dir.

To the person having trouble with their execute bits (too many things
going on in the one thread I lost track).

Note that if in `Edit->preferences->Various` you have
`use_atomic_file_saving` set then the execute bit gets cleared every
time the file is saved.  You could try a different setting so it is
preserved on save, either `use_gio_unsafe_file_saving` set, or
neither.  For all gory details see
https://wiki.geany.org/config/all_you_never_wanted_to_know_about_file_saving.

Cheers
