Fetchart Permissions Issue

[SirCadian]

I have an issue with Fetchart. I have a music library on a remote SMB share and I run beets directly against it without moving/importing. Because fetchart creates temporary files with base permissions of 0600, it prevents the temporary file from being copied to the remote SMB share. If I chmod 664 the file, it will copy without issue.

I've tried a number of ways to work around this and am drawing a blank. Does anyone have any suggestions beyond submitting a feature request for a fetchart configuration option to set permissions for temporary files (assuming this is even possible as I think this may be a Python limitation for TMP files)?

I had the same issue. It works during beet import because it copies the artwork, and the umask comes into play. For example you can set umask 007 and get rw- rw- ---

However, running fetchart manually, beet fetchart ... it downloads a file to temp, with default python mkstemp() which results in 600, it then moves the file. Umask doesn't affect files that are moved.

You can solve this with a hook on the art_set event, like this:
config.yaml

hook:
  hooks:
    - event: art_set
      command: 'chmod 660 -- "{album.artpath}"'

This works in my use case atleast.
