taz742 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) I've a problem when using FileMove function with resulting file permission.I've discover the problem because there is a lock overlayed icon the moved file:Here an example script to reproduce my problem:$file=@TempDir & "\filetest.txt" $filehndl=FileOpen($file,2) FileWriteLine($filehndl, "some text") FileClose($filehndl) FileCopy($file, @SystemDir & "\filetest_copy.txt",1) FileMove($file, @SystemDir & "\filetest_move.txt",1) Run('Explorer.exe "' & @SystemDir & '"')The @SystemDir & "\filetest_copy.txt" has it permissions inherit from the @systemdir folder (which is normal)but the @SystemDir & "\filetest_move.txt" has it own permissions (and this is problematic) So my questions are simple:Is this normal or a bug?If it's a bug how can I solve it?PS: I'm using Win7x64 OS Edited February 4, 2010 by taz742 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99ojo Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hi, this is a standard MS behaviour: Copy file -> get security from folder Move file on same partition -> keep security from file Move file to other partition -> get security from folder So you might copy file and then delete source. ;-)) Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taz742 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Thanks for your reply.I've discovered what you explain doing a copy and move operation with DOS routine.So it's definitely NOT an AutoIt lack or bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
