Comment 27 for bug 1853914

The new folder navigation as well as ability to add multiple files and whole folders is awesome and works great! Thank you so much for doing this!

As for making files executable, the reason that I originally requested that was because of my use case of having my preseed bash scripts (.sh files) saved on my computer without being set as executable. This makes it easier to open and edit these files since I never actually want to run them on my computer.

But, I can see the danger in making files with particular extensions executable without a user being explicitly informed or realizing that's going to happen. The fact that Cubic preserves the permissions for copied files is probably enough. If a user wants a file to be executable, they can set that before copying into Cubic (or by doing more advanced scripting by copying files and setting permissions in the correct Cubic folders without using the Cubic GUI to add them).

Although, I could see the value in having a little permissions view/edit bar above or below the file content display. This way a user could easily see the current permissions of their file and also edit them after being copied into Cubic if needed. But, I understand if this too much extra work for probably a very small use case.
