mintbackup 2.0.2

Testing out the Backup Tool 2.x on Helena (which will be included in Isadora) I found out that it saves the software list with the user "root" as the owner of the file, and even the folder if "Create new folder" is done.

1.) Run the Backup Tool 2.0.2
2.) Select "Backup software selection"
3.) Under "Destination" select "Other" and create a new folder in your home directory called "software_list"
4.) Click "Forward" then "Apply"

If you check the permissions of the folder and file, it looks like this:

drwxr-xr-x root root software_list
-rw-r--r-- root root software_selection_linux-mint@2010-04-23-2116-package.list

The file and folder cannot be deleted, even if saved in your own home directory, unless you use the sudo command in a terminal.

This seems counter-intuitive for the Backup Tool.

This is not an issue if using the "Backup files" feature.
