Problem copying comments, tags...

Post by chumbo »

Hi,
I have Comments and a few custom columns that won't copy when I move a folder to another location.
One thing I observed is that these are almost always folders with mp3s and there is always those jpg that are auto created by media players (to display the cover I guess?) and then there is also a thumb.db created as well and both of these files don't want to be copied without prompting an alert box from XYPlorer (asking if I really want to move these files).
That is already a nuisance in itself as for each and every folder I have to confirm but then more annoying - and I think this might be a clue to the problem here - is the thumb.db that simply won't be moved!
So I have to click 'Skip' and then manually delete the folder which now only contains that thumb.db file in it.
And this is when my comments, tags are not copied to the new location. But if I delete the thumb.db from the original folder and NOW copy that empty folder (which still has my comments & tags) and accept the overwrite onto the new moved folder, it will then copy my comments & tags!

So...any idea how to solve this?
Thanks!
Chumbo
