Bug

[grb]

Thank you for creating Hobocopy.  It is very useful.

 

The bug is that Hobocopy fails mark a copied folder as Read-only if the Source folder is Read-only.

 

Thank You Again

That is indeed a bug. Thanks for reporting it.

As it turns out, copying files is super-complicated. So my solution
for bugs such as these was to develop ShadowSpawn [1], which lets you
use something like Robocopy to do the actual copying. Robocopy is
always going to be better at copying files and folders than anything I
could write.

I've filed the bug on the hobocopy website [2] and made a note that
it's a "won't fix" bug. I'm always open to discussion about it,
though.
