Comment 2 for bug 584701

It is not *only* an umask issue but also a cp one. I'll explain myself:

If I change the umask either in the local or global profile I can get the proper permissions whenever I *create* a new file or folder but this has no effect whenever I copy/move a file/folder from a removable device into the videos folder (which should be a task common enough to take this issue into account).

Strangely enough, I guess MythTV has no way yet of doing this (common) kind of video importing so it would be nice the Mythbuntu team would develop a plugin/script which could take care of this (well I know this is not a wishlist item ;-) ).

Antonio
