Hi There,
I am testing out VV Pro, and I have a few questions that I cant seem to find answers to in the FAQ or forums.

Maybe this is because I was testing copying a local folder to another local folder. If your source folder is a shared folder, and you have selected "copy Permissions" in the profile settings, will the destination be shared once it has copied?

Can you do a file copy first, and then copy permissions afterwards?
eg you did a large copy without selecting "copy permissions". Source and destination are now the same except for the permissions and I would like to copy just permissions onto each file/folder?

And can I dump a copy of the source folder/file structure to a text file first or anything like that? I am thinking about doing a backup to external HD for long term storage, but I don't want to have to physically retrieve and plug in each HD to check if file x was there before I took a backup.
(maybe you can do it via a script before comparison but i'm not good at scripting which is why I was looking at the tools capabilities to have it automatically generated as part of the job or something like that?)

Thanks
J.

Hi, thank you for evaluating ViceVersa.

No, because the share information is stored in the registry, not as a file permission.

Permissions are only copied when files are copied.

In the comparison window (where source and target are displayed side-by-side, there's the option to save the lists to a file (from the menu).

thanks
