Move folders with different permissions.

[itsupport@cpsl.com]

Dear Colegues
I have a known problem but I don't know how to solve it.
In some users, When I move a folder to another folder with different permissions, the content does not inherit the permissions, continues with the original permissions
But other users, yes do it, it regenerates the permissions according to the destination folder.
All user have TotalCommander 10.52 installed.
ANd i dont know why in some user yes and in others no.
I have read in forums that it is a windows problem and that there are options that must be modified, but I have not touched anything in any.
I do NOT have the option to copy NTFS permissions selected.
What I can do?
I need that when folders are moved, the permissions are regenerated according to the destination folder, always
very thanks in advance

You can control this behaviour with the option XPMoveMethod in wincmd.ini section [Configuration]:
XPMoveMethod=
1: When moving files within a drive, the permissions of the target folder are used
2: As 1, but when moving folders, all files and subfolders in them are changed to the target permissions too
0: The permissions of the files are kept
Default: XP:1, other systems: 0

2 isn't the default because it would freeze the program for several seconds when moving a folder with 1000s of subfolders.

Dear all,

You can control this behaviour with the option XPMoveMethod in wincmd.ini section [Configuration]:

I try this solution, and in one case WORKS, but in other user, sometime works correctly, but others no.
I dont know why succes this. In two cases have TC 10.52 x64. The are one strange thin, in case that not work, when I modify wincmd.ini the property exist with 0 value. but in other case the property don't exist.

I will continue investigating.

VERY VERY THANKS for all,

Carlos

The are one strange thin, in case that not work, when I modify wincmd.ini the property exist with 0 value. but in other case the property don't exist.

If the property exists, please change it instead of adding another line. It will not work properly when you have more than one line starting with XPMoveMethod= or more than one [Configuration] section.

Yes i was change the property when it exist, and added when not exist. but didn't work.
I talked to the user that it works and not always work.
It is super strange, it seems totaly random, because i try with the same source and the same destination, and sometimes it works and others no.
I was verify, only exist one line with [Configuration] and only one line with XPMoveMethod=

Maybe it depends on the permissions themselves? Files and folders can have their own permissions (stored in an alternate data stream) or permissions inherited from the folder they are in, or a mix of both. The user could check whether there is a difference between folders where it works and those where it doesn't.
