[Bug 584701] Re: Cannot delete videos from MythTV

 

It is not *only* an umask issue but also a cp one. I'll explain myself:

If I change the umask either in the local or global profile I can get
the proper permissions whenever I *create* a new file or folder but this
has no effect whenever I copy/move a file/folder from a removable device
into the videos folder (which should be a task common enough to take
this issue into account).

Strangely enough, I guess MythTV has no way yet of doing this (common)
kind of video importing so it would be nice the Mythbuntu team would
develop a plugin/script which could take care of this (well I know this
is not a wishlist item ;-) ).

Regards
Antonio

Bug description:
Whenever I copy a video file using Thunar into MythTV's videos folder, the default permissions eventually won't let me delete that file from MythTV Media -> Videos. The original permissions are:

<desktop_user>:mythtv rw-r--r-- 

and (IMHO) they should be defaulted to:

<desktop_user>:mythtv rw-rw-r--
