Hello,

I forward this bug from debian:

Shotwell currently just takes the permissions of original files
on import. In many cases, this is 755 or 777, because users may
import files from typically VFAT formatted SD cards.

For security, it would be nice to have no executable bits set.
For privacy, it would be nice to allow only user and group to
read imported files.

I suggest 640 as permission of imported files
and 750 or maybe 2750 for new directories.

Somewhat clashes with the use-case in bug 784172
