Dear Peter, thank you for insisting on the umask issue. I appreciate your willingness to help - and I might need your help:
I checked this morning: example: I am user "martin", my group is "users" All my trainees are also in group "users", so nothing fancy there. My present umask is "0022", so I believe that any file that I create (or Scribus running under my login) should receive rights like this: rw-r--r-- Now I created a fresh test folder for output, throw my explorer and it automatically received drwxr-xr-x which I believe is very good. Then I took some Scribus document and had it collected-for-output (with fonts and with compression) into this fresh, empty folder. Result: The scribus file .sla.gz received -rw-r--r-- which would work fine for our team-workflow. But, all the other files (.png and .ttf) did receive -rw------- which is exactly the problem, why I opened this thread. So I double-checked: Where did get Scribus get these photos and those fonts: They were all readily assembled in the previous output-folder. And there I had manually fixed the rights for all files to -rw-r--r-- so I believe there is not a problem of "inheriting too limited rights". Somehow in the process of collecting-for-output either Scribus or the OS or some other agent (who?) is assigning two different levels of rights. And one of those feels like a bug or an unhelpful feature. Peter, if you could help me further please, to localize, where exactly those rights are assigned (almost against what my user-umask prescribes) then I might be able to fix it - and get my whole team into a smooth work-flow. If you need further details from my system, I am available. For all: I am in Africa, remember. So please do not be upset, if I cannot respond right-away to new posts or questions. Sometimes it is the internet or power, mostly I am overcharged this December (because we need to launch this magazine but also prepare a launch of an online dictionary and several public meetings and the calendar for 2014...). But I hope to be in the office all week from Mon to Fri(Sat). thanks again, still hoping, Martin On 06.12.2013 07:08, Peter Nermander wrote: >> Is there a way please, to configure Scribus such, that during collection >> for output the file properties are set more liberally? > > The permissions set when a file is created is generally controlled by > the users umask, and the owner and group is controlled by the users > main/default group. > > http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html > > You can change the group files are created with in a few ways, for > example by using setgid on the directory. > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1321168/bash-scripting-how-to-set-the-group-that-new-files-will-be-created-with > > (The links are a few random googled pages, there might be other ways too.) > > /Peter > > ___ > Scribus Mailing List: scribus at lists.scribus.net > Edit your options or unsubscribe: > http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus > See also: > http://wiki.scribus.net > http://forums.scribus.net > -- ZASKE Martin responsable G?G?
