<p>As I enabled use_atomic_file_saving, when the file is saved the executable bit is lost (and other special files attributes), the new file follows umask.</p>

<p>After removing use_atomic_file_saving to fix this problem, I remember why I needed it: because sometimes, instead of saving, geany tells me it couldn't save, so i have to press ok and save again and this time it works.</p>

<p>Can you copy file attributes from the old file to apply it to the new file with the atomic option please?</p>
