Can we set default permissions to 777 for everything in MAIN?

[nfriedly]

I just booted up linux to copy over some games directly, and noticed that I didn't have permissions to write to the roms folder. It was easy enough to fix (sudo chmod -R 777 roms), but I think we should just make that the default.

of course! i thought this was done before, but checking commits apparently it was applied on uMTP side

Apparently theres some perms issues in some folders too using uMTP as someone reported recently (eg: gmenu2x), so must be checked in all methods.

FAT never respected permissions on drive, and anything printed with ls -a is just virtually non-existent (test with BOOT partition and see that even so u have only READ access you can still WRITE files). I believe BTRFS behaves here normally allowing only for root to have RW (was it anytime different for linux ex-drivers to behave opposite with auto-mount?).

Anyway I would add documenting how to allow for other user groups to have RW (666, not necessary 777) permissions on mounted externally drives (like using pmount cmd: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/creating-an-udev-rule-mounting-all-usb-drive-as-666-a-807325/page2.html) and not relying soly on auto-mount feature.

FYI looks like sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/$USER/MAIN do the trick permanently at least on Ubuntu machine.
