[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Windows permissions not retained when a file is saved (#1420)

[Boris Gjenero]

I'm in Windows 7, running Geany 1.29, which I downloaded from http://download.geany.org/geany-1.29_setup.exe . When I save a file, previous Windows permissions for that file are lost. It seems the permissions afterwards probably always just inherit from the directory the file is in.

This is annoying when using Cygwin and its git. Any file saved by Geany is seen as executable by Cygwin, and then git would commit that change. I know I could `git config core.fileMode false`, but I shouldn't need to. Both Notepad and Notepad++ preserved permissions.
