Steps to reproduce:

Hi guys can you please elaborate on OS.File.setPermissions. I recently created a .desktop file on Ubuntu and whenever clicked it would say "untresuted error" i manged to get it to work by messing aroudn forever on github source code search and found this:
OS.File.setPermissions(path, {unixMode: 0o4777, unixHonorUmask: true})

But I have no idea why that fixed it. I was trying to do this:
OS.File.setPermissions(path, {
        unixMode: OS.Constants.libc.S_IRWXO
    });

but it never worked

OSFIle is being replaced with IOUtils and PathUtils.
