Hi! I recently started using GnuCash, and I've found it very friendly and
useful. My thanks to all the developers.
I have a patch for one minor issue that was annoying me. I set my GnuCash
data file to be group-readable, so that several accounts on my system can
access it. But whenever I open and then save the file in GnuCash, the
permissions are reset to my umask (because GnuCash actually writes a new
temp file, then links it to the original location).
The attached patch makes GnuCash remember the original file permissions when
available, and preserve them in the newly saved file.
