on save file set to no other access

Hi, I'm running Lyx on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS; every time I save a file during editing the file permissions are changed to 600 octal even though the original file permissions were 644. This is creating problems for my backup software; anyone have an idea?
thanks

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

Perhaps add a chmod 644 * command to the backup script, or to a cron job that runs every day. At least I'm not aware of a LyX feature for that setting.

I think this behavior should be fixed for LyX 2.4.0 (which might not be released for a while). See this commit: https://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=commit ... cb50ccf543
