Montreal | | It would be verry usefull to have options to at least omit hard link and junction as they are widely used in Windows 7 and 8 and you really don't need 2 copyes of the same files.
Even better would be an option to copy or drop the links as sometmin you do need them and others you simply don't.
Thanks |

Arizona | | I've used Unstoppable Copier as a computer technician for several years, and I must say I love it! My only problem is with encountering these junctions (and they can be a real headache sometimes).
When junctions lose their "Deny List Folder Contents" NTFS permission, Unstoppable Copier not only makes extra copies of files, but often gets stuck in a loop which ends in using up WAY too much storage space, wasting lots of my time, and creating paths which are invalid because they're too long.
Here's a classic example:
C:UsersDavidAppDataLocalApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication DataApplication Data
If you could simply add a checkbox in the options to skip copying through junctions, that would be perfect! I would really appreciate it. |
