Hello Daniel

I checked the the permissions of /usr/bin/openshot and found them to be
744 - not 755. 744 gives only the owner the right to run it, but chmod
+x /usr/bin/openshot makes the permissions 755 which gives the rights to
run it everybody. 744 looks like -rwxr--r-- and 755 -rwxr-xr-x. So you
should give the command chmod 755 /usr/bin/openshot.

Regards Timo

Bug description:
The website says that OpenShot is available for Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10, but the download page only offers 9.04 which is what i have installed on my Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 machine. 

After install via "sudo dpkg -i openshot..." (including dependences) I found that the program wouldn't run for other users on my system. So I did a "ls -l /usr/bin/openshot" and found the permissions set to bits 755 and owner set to uid 1000:1000 which prevents anyone but the first user from being able to run the application. A simple "chmod 777 /usr/bin/openshot" fixed the problem, but it seems to me like the maintainers of this package should correct this.

Also, I cannot find the documentation package to install but the program says I should install openshot-doc to get help within the program.

Thanks,

Daniel Bair
