Description Francesco Biccari 2008-06-28 09:36:39 UTC
My global umask is 0002.

When I create a file in Thunar, its permissions are 644 instead of 664.
When I create a directory in Thunar, its permissions are 755 instead of 775.

The same operations from command line give the correct result (664 for files
and 775 for directories).

Reproducible: Always

Hi, first, thanks for reporting. However, I think this is a design choice of the thunar authors. I say this because if you goto File > Properties, Permissions tab, there you can set your own "umask" via the GUI. If you dislike this behavior, I encourage you to submit a feature request upsteam at xfce.org.

Thanks.
