Editing Python scripts in TheIde [message #22072]

I noticed that TheIde removes the +x attribute from files that are edited+saved in theide, I have python scripts that are part of my project; these need the +x attribute set to be able to execute them. Can we device a way to work with this?

Maybe the behaviour can be disabled somehow?
Maybe a better question is: why does theide do this?

It just saves the file. Right now, it does not read attributes of existing file; file is simply created.

Should be quite simple to fix, I think.

I think theide should just not recreate a file in the same location, but instead open the existing file, truncate it
(http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl2_truncate.htm)

and write the new content. That way you prevent having to know about all aspects of the file (attributes, file-rights etc)

Unsafe.

The actual protocol is: Rename current file (add .bak to filename), save file, delete backup.

At any point, either old or new file exists.

Ok,

that's fine, but can also be done like: Copy existing file to .bak, truncate existing file and write new content, delete .bak

and this way the original file's attributes and right are preserved.
