Plase add a feature to copy NTFS permissions with data copy.

What would you say ?

No plans for that in current year.

Maybe we can inject using "robocopy /SEC" or "xcopy /O" ?
I guess it's no so hard ?

You can configure FastCopy for Copy and Delete.

Here my Copy line:
C:\Tools\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe /auto_close /open_window /cmd=update /estimate %ActivSel% /to="%InactivDir%"
And here the Move:
:\Tools\FastCopy\FastCopy.exe /auto_close /open_window /cmd=move /estimate %ActivSel% /to="%InactivDir%"

Add the /acl switch for the NTFS ACLs

This copies content of a directory, not directory itself
upd: this works, but not copying NTFS rights
C:\Users\root\Desktop\FastCopy211\FastCopy.exe /acl /auto_close /open_window /cmd=update /estimate %ActivSel% /to="%InactivDir%\"
upd2: i should start FC with administrator rights

upd3: No overwrite dialog kills all beauty

So, feauture request is still persists...

What overwrite dialog ?
The update switch silently overwrites only older files in the target.
If you use force_copy instead it will just copy over.
I never get any overwrite questions or dialog in this cases.

I want overwrite dialog. I don't want to switch the mode before every process of copy/move, it's not comfortable.
I want file manager to ask me what i want to do, overwrite or not ? Only older or all.
Why my wish is surprises you ? Does FC first file manager you are using ? Because the behavior i am talking about is familiar and using in each file manager i guess.

No I'm not surprised, but every user has other behaviour in copying / moving files.
Normaly I use registered Total Commander which has no problems to copy NTFS ACLs.
I only use FC (as a Donor) to see what free file managers provide.

So I don't want to buy TC (thats too much cost to file manager), and last feauture i need is NTFS permissions. Sad that even donor version doesn't have it's feauture. I am confused.
