Free Space calculation in XYcopy for junction-targets
Posted: 01 Dec 2021 14:25
In my Setup, I have a folder C:\STUFF with multiple junctions pointing to different drives (a somehow poor-mans MergerFS-solution)
Lets say:
C:\STUFF -> actual folder on Drive0
C:\STUFF\Junction1 -> pointing to a folder on Drive1
C:\STUFF\Junction2 -> pointing to a folder on Drive2
when copying something into C:\STUFF\Junction1, the free Space for Drive0 is shown in XYcopy
when copying something into C:\STUFF\Junction1\Subfolder then the correct free space for Drive1 is shown in XYcopy.
This also applies to the warning that the destination does not have sufficient space left for the data to copy.
Interestingly when just navigating to C:\STUFF\Junction1 the free space shown in the Statusbar is the correct value from Drive1 instead of Drive0

I wonder why that was never noticed. Fix coming.
