Hi Erik -
At the current time, there is no good answer for your question. As you
noticed, new file protections are always set to the mbx_protection value
(in env_unix.c), and there's currently no way to change that default.
Your suggestion on making the file protections track the mix directory
permission sounds like a good one, and I'll look into it.

Hello,
If I set a MIX folder to have unix permissions 770 and the files inside to
have permissions 660 this allows me to make a symbolic link from another
user's directory to this folder and have that user have full access to the
files as long as the user is in the same unix group.
However, when new MIX files are created, they are automatically made with
permissions 600. With MBX this was not an issue as the file permissions
would never change once the folder was created. With MIX, this breaks
symbolic linking access pretty quickly.
Is there any way to get the MIX file permissions to be set based on the
permissions of the enclosing MIX directory
? I.e. 600 if the enclosing is 700, 660 if it is 770, etc.? Similar could
be done for creating new mix folders inside existing mix folders. It would
be sad to have to use MBX only for any shared folders.
Thank you,
