As it turns out we make lots of use of QFile::copy internally in Utility.cpp so we fill need to set Owner, User, and Other to be RW for our internal temp files by using QFile's static setPermissions routine right in AddContentToFolder as all of these temp files may be editable by OpenWith.

The fix has now been added to master and will appear in the next release.

Thank you for your bug report and persistence to get it fixed.
