    Hi,

    I’m on a server that has quite strict default file permissions: files are not readable by "all" by default. This means that the thumbnails created by MaxiGallery are not viewable by "all", and so not viewable from a web-browser (until I log into the server via ssh and chmod the thumbnails manually). The (large) uploaded photos themselves are fine however, with correct permissions (as I think modx sets the permissions of uploaded files appropriately).

    Does anyone know how I can get MaxiGallery to set the permissions of the thumbnails to be world readable?

      Try adding the following line to the end of createthumb function in maxigallery.class.php (to line 325):

      chmod($path_to_gal.$prefix.$filename,0666);

          I’ll get it added to the next release and make the chmod values configurable too.. I’ve been meaning to do that but I have forgotten it..
