<p>I'm in Windows 7, running Geany 1.29, which I downloaded from <a href="http://download.geany.org/geany-1.29_setup.exe">http://download.geany.org/geany-1.29_setup.exe</a> . 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.</p>
<p>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 <code>git config core.fileMode false</code>, but I shouldn't need to. Both Notepad and Notepad++ preserved permissions.</p>
