Y'all;

I am having an issue that is really starting to put me on edge. No matter what the perms are of a file, when geany saves it, they are 0644, period. It doesn't matter what type of file it is (shell script, txt file, perl, etc).

I have done a complete uninstall and reinstall.

I have looked through the previous bug reports and done some searches to see if others have had this issue. It appears to have been an on-going deal, with threads simply ceasing to continue and being closed after a while. I found, and tried the hints from: http://wiki.geany.org/config/all_you_never_wanted_to_know_about_file_saving

I have tried a number of combinations from the above web page, with no change. It is currently set to: use_gio_unsafe_file_saving=true use_atomic_file_saving=false (was true when installed) gio_unsafe_save_backup=false

I have systematically attempted all 8 possibilities of the above three settings, with no change. I:

• make the change
• remove the file from the project
• close the project
• do a "completely uninstall" geany (using synaptic)
• chmod the file (0750)
• install geany (just geany and geany-common)
• open the project
• add the file to the project
• change the file
• save it
• ls -l shows 0644

Just for giggles and grins: umask is 0022. It is obvious this isn't the cause, or the perms would be 755 -- which I could deal with for the time being.

I am currently using geany 1.23.1 on linux mint 14.04. I noted it was not the "latest and greatest," so I added the PPA to the system, and voila, the upgrade manager automagically upgraded me to 1.25.

So I created a new project, added a bash script to it (original perms 0700), made a trivial change, and sure enough, the perms became 0644.

I cannot continue to deal with having to reset the perms every time I edit a file. What needs to change? What do I have to do to force geany to quit resetting the perms to 0644?

This started several months ago, but I thought it had something to do with my Vagrant configurations and the fact that I am working in 4 different OS/Version configurations. But today's testing has all been on one system (one which worked perfectly several months ago).

Tips/tricks/pointers/answers appreciated!

Hi,

Not really an answer but a data point. I'm using Geany 1.25 with Ubuntu 14.04 and I can edit/save executable bash scripts fine without messing up the permissions. My settings are:

gio_unsafe_save_backup=no use_atomic_file_saving=false use_gio_unsafe_file_saving=true

The only thing that comes to mind for your problem is that the file system is not supporting permissions correctly (ex. FAT32, Samba, etc).
