[8.52a] Buggy copying junction

Post by *MVV »

Sometimes I've noticed that some junctions become broken after copying, now I can reproduce such case.

1. Set CopyLinks=2.
2. Create folder F:\one\two\three\four\ (use any available drive letter).
3. Create folder F:\one\two\three a\ and junction F:\one\two\three\four\abc pointing to it.
4. Shift+F5 on abc and copy it as def.
5. Now def points to F:\one\two\a instead of F:\one\two\three a\.

It seems that space in folder name is essential.

Seems to work fine in TC 9.0b1. :)

BTW the key CopyLinks it is quite unusable. I've set it to 2 and forgot about it, and when I've made some folder backup copies (folder has some junctions inside), I've got identical contents because TC have copied junctions as junctions.
It is really not safe to have such a global key, it must be a single operation option.
