Overwritten file permissions on save

Description

If one saves a file it a) cannot follow my symlink and b) removes my file permissions such that it’s not executable anymore. In other words I think on each save the original file is deleted and replaced by a new one

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Ok. So let’s see if I can fix it

@daniel-edler, sorry, we don’t work that way. We don’t receive bounties for specific features from users. I decide what we should prioritize for each release and use the OpenCollective money to pay the students that work for the project a certain amount of hours per month.

So, users really need to trust that we’re going to invest their donations in the best interests of the project. However, if you want to see this implemented faster, you’re more than welcome to send us a pull request for it.
