change_file_permissions

Description

When creating HTML files or images, makethumbs will change the permissions on the created files so they are readable by the web server process. This is normally the correct thing to do—if you have a restrictive umask set but your files need to be world-readable for them to be visible via the web server.

change_file_permissions is a boolean variable; set it to 0 to make makethumbs leave your file permissions alone.
