File permission

[manny73]

Hi, congratulations for this great software.
When the image are saved, in linux environment the file permission is rw- --- --- .
It's possibile to configure the mask, for the folder too?
For example file: rw- rw- -- and folder: rwx rwx x

Thanks

Hi, there is currently no option to control the file permissions.

This is a reasonable feature request. I'll add it to the list.

Does anyone else fancy contributing this feature? (see comments in #79 since this is quite similar)

I'm wondering if it makes more sense to use umask in the script from which you launch gphotos-sync?

[gilesknap]

Actually, I just tried and that does not work.

If gphotos-sync honoured umask would that be OK?

[gilesknap]

I believe the umask is ignored because tempfile tries to be secure https://docs.python.org/2/library/tempfile.html. So I will have to explicitly set the permissions after download completes.

it would be perfect. Thanks.

[gilesknap]

this should be fixed in 2.9.2 (on pypi) please give it a go.

Now umask determines the permissions on downloaded files (BUT this only works on Linux)
