I tried to reproduce this bug. It is quiet easy in fact. $ ls -l test.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 rousseau rousseau 209812 2005-10-08 22:37 test.jpg $ umask 0022 $ jhead -ce test.jpg Modified: test.jpg $ ls -l test.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 rousseau rousseau 209814 2005-10-08 22:40 test.jpg $ umask 077 $ ls -l test.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 rousseau rousseau 209814 2005-10-08 22:40 test.jpg $ jhead -ce test.jpg Modified: test.jpg $ ls -l test.jpg -rw------- 1 rousseau rousseau 209812 2005-10-08 22:41 test.jpg A new file is created using fopen(). So the umask is important. jhead is working under Windows and Unix. I don't know how to manage permissions in a portable way. Maybe the code would be Unix specific. I will try to work on a patch.
