Hi Pol, | Files and directories created through the konqueror graphic interface show | different access privileges than files and directories created through a | terminal emulator (konqueror terminal emulator included). | How to fix that misbehaviour? I guess you set your umask in a shell startup file such as .bashrc, .profile, or .bash_profile , that is not used by KDE. Potential fixes are: - Create a symbolic link in ~/.kde/env/ to your startup file that contains your umask setting: For example, $ cd ~/.kde/env/ $ ln -s ~/.bash_profile bash_profile.sh This is what I do. Files in ~/.kde/env/ are sourced during the KDE startup. Once set, environments (including umask) should be seen by all applications including konqueror. - Change the system-wide default umask in /etc/profile . But, I'm not sure whether the KDE uses this file or whether it does not change umask. - What else . . . ? Hope this helps, Ryo ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list. Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.
