Permissions plugin doesn't affect directory permissions

[uberjew666]

Problem

When using the Permissions plug, it doesn't change the permission from 755 to 775 on directories even though specified in the config. File permissions are successfully altered.

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:

simon:~$ beet -vv user configuration: /home/simon/.config/beets/config.yaml data directory: /home/simon/.config/beets plugin paths: Sending event: pluginload lyrics: Disabling google source: no API key configured. library database: /storage/media/Music/.beets/musiclibrary.blb library directory: /storage/media/Music/Sorted Sending event: library_opened

Hmm; I'm a little confused… is the traceback the problem, or is silent failure the problem?

If the former, it looks like the root cause may be that the permissions couldn't be changed. Can you show the current permissions on that directory with ls -l?

Also, please edit your comments to surround terminal pastes with ``` so they get formatted correctly.

It's sorted. User error. -_- Files were owned by another user so when I ran beet import, it would move the album folder but error on applying folder permissions. File permissions seem to be fine.

Though I also have fetchart enabled and permissions does not apply the correct permission to that :(

Thanks anyway!
