Total Commander

Hi,
I've been a long time WC/TC user (since win3.1 !) and until recently I had not a single issue with it

But now I've have replaced my old Windows server with a fancy Synology NAS and have a really annoying issue with it since then. When I move files around on the NAS, all permission on the files are suddenly gone (so I have to telnet to the NAS and 'chmod 777' on the files). I don't have this problem when I check the "copy NTFS permissions" in the Move-dialog.

I would really really like this "copy NTFS permissions" setting to remembered (allowed to be "save as default" or something like that) so I cannot forget to check it anymore.

Kind regards,
Sven.

Some NAS devices return "NTFS" as the used file system. TC then calls the NTFS functions to copy the permissions of the target folder to the moved file, which can lead to problems on some devices which claim to support NTFS, but really don't. Unfortunately there is no way to distinguish these misbehaving devices from real NTFS drives.

Solution: Set
XPMoveMethod=0
in your wincmd.ini, section [Configuration] to turn off the chaging of the permissions.

Great, that did the trick !!

Suggestion : make this settings something you can check in the config screens without having to manually edit the wincmd.ini ?

Anyway, thanks, I'll keep advertising the best file manager on the planet
