Hi again, I saw a small but annoying bug.
When I try to move a folder into or from a write-protected directory, Vista asks for admin rights. I say Yes, and TC moves a folder, but it moves all its contents file-by-file using copy/delete instead of just moving a folder link into new directory. While moving folders with thousands of files it is significant.
I'm using TC 7.04a.

This happens when TC failed to move the folder itself (function MoveFile(Ex) failed also with admin rights).

Really, does Explorer allow to move the folder with Admin rights?

Also TC doesn't allow to move a folder if folder with same name exists in destination directory and permission required. Explorer just merges folders, as expected. TC just asks for replacing a folder, I press "All w/admin rights", then TC says "access denied". My test folder contains about 3000 files with subdirectories.
