TC9ß5 Descriptions and SymLinks Bug

brahman · Post by *brahman » 2016-07-14, 18:49 UTC

I can give a SymLink a description, but when I copy that SymLink to another folder (just as I can do with a file) the description does not travel with it.

Win10 x64 and TC x64

Confirmed, thanks!

This should be fixed in beta 6, please confirm!

How can I copy a symbolic link in TC?

Set CopyLinks=1 or CopyLinks=2 in wincmd.ini; see TC help for details on the setting.

CopyLinks is set to 1 here. The TC help says this setting will copy junctions as links. This bug report is about symbolic links and they seem to be copied as folders using this setting.

Sorry, symbolic links cannot be copied with TC.

I have tested this on Win7 and Win10 using beta 5 and 6 but it always works perfectly. So I don't see what was wrong and what exactly has been fixed.

It's about junctions to folders created e.g. with sysinternals junction.exe. When TC is configured to copy junctions, and you set a comment with Ctrl+Z, this comment will not be copied with the junction.
