file_readable_permissions

Name

file_readable_permissions -- chmod options to make a file readable

Synopsis

     file_readable_permissions="a+r,a-x"
  

Description

makethumbs makes files world readable during its execution. The idea is that you may have a restrictive umask setting, but the files may need to be world readable to be visible via the web. makethumbs' chmod'ing behavior can be disabled entirely (via change_file_permissions) or you can tweak this setting.

The value of file_readable_permissions is something that can be passed to chmod on the command line.

Examples

If you'd like to have all created files made group readable but not world readable, you could use a setting like this:

     change_file_permissions="g+r,g-x,o-rwx"
