Dolphin creat a new folder with permissions 777 by default?

Recently I found that if i create a folder through dolphin's GUI it creates a folder with a permission of 777. I think it might be a bug? And I tried to search it and I didn't find anything similar.

Unlikely. Which filesystem? Most of the Microsoft family can't do posix and depending on your mount settings the perms will be logically faked to whatever.

Otherwise what's you umask? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Umask

ext4, umask 000

And I just found something hard to believe. In a same folder, I tried `mkdir 22` in xfce-terminal, it created such a folder:
```
drwxr-xr-x     - vescrity vescrity 28 4月  10:13 22
```
But when I use dolphin's own terminal, `mkdir 44`, it ends up with
```
drwxrwxrwx     - vescrity vescrity 28 4月  10:19 44
```

Just found that if I use it in KDE it works properly. In i3 it creates folder with 777.
Maybe I configured something wrong.

Somewhere you're setting that bogus umask.
