I recently started using image\_column which has been donig a great job  
in development (on WinXP using WeBrick). However once published to my  
host (running Red Hat Ent.) uploaded images would no longer display  
properly. I figured out that when the directories/files were created  
did not have read rights. After chmoding them, it worked fine.

Is there a way to make sure that directories and files created are  
permissioned as 644 rather than 600 by default?

Is this patch (against the file\_column trunk) useful?

I submitted the patch, but Sebastian makes final decisions.

That did it. Thanks! Will this be added into the trunk?
