[Solved] File system permission differt between FileCopy & FileMove

[taz742]

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

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.

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.
