            Bug ID: 398450
           Summary: okular saves as with too few permissions
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.3.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: s.oosthoek at xs4all.nl
  Target Milestone: ---

Okular doesn't save with the maximum permissions allowable by the umask, which
causes problems when sharing files over a unix network share (NFS) and scp.

e.g. when the umask (-S) is set to: u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx, a file saved with "save
as" will get the permissions -rw-------.
The expected permssions are: -rw-rw-r--

I expect okular to request -rw-rw-rw- permissions from the OS, and being
allowed to set -rw-rw-r-- according to the umask.

Example; when e.g. a student writes a copy of a deliverable document to a
supervisor to a network drive (or locally, and later copied using scp) using
save as, the file ends up with too few permissions to be readable by the
supervisor. This is unexpected behaviour and can result in delays for the
student, or worse...

I hope this is already fixed in later versions of okular, however the version
included in ubuntu 18.04 has this problem.
