Re: Copying links and junctions
Probably a new folder template you tweaked in [NewTemplates]. This has nothing to do with Custom Copy.

Re: Copying links and junctions
Can Custom Copy be used for copying a template? That was my question.

Re: Copying links and junctions
Could be an option. Or one could use what is set under File Operations also for templates.

Re: Copying links and junctions
You're right, it does not work with
CustomCopyFlags=2048. This flag only affects the copying of files, not of folders. So, copying junctions as junctions is currently not supported.PS: Note that XY can generally copy junctions as junctions via clipboard and "Edit | Paste Special | Paste As Junction(s)".

Re: Copying links and junctions
I couldn't let it go and worked on it all day. With success! Here's what you'll get tomorrow:
Code: Select all
+ Custom Copy: You can now copy and move junctions natively as junctions, meaning they
will remain junctions and keep their original target. There is no longer a need for
third-party tools. This feature works for directly selected junctions, as well as
those deeper within selected folders.

Re: Copying links and junctions
Did you try it? Did it work?
Note that UI settings and background processing will not come very soon. We have to wait until a couple of things are fixed in tB.
