What file properties change when a file is copied?
At the moment I am only looking at exe files and text files. So far I have:
1. File name (different if in the same path)
2. File path (although this does not always change)
3. File date created
4. If the Read only file attribute was checked on the original, it falls off during the copy process
5. If the file is checked as "Compress contents to save disk space" on the original, it falls off during the copy process.
6. When a file is copied it is always checked as ready for archiving on the copy regardless of the original.
7. When a file is copied it is always checked as "Allow this file to have contents indexed in addition to file properties" on the copy regardless of the original.
*1 As file date last accessed is not updated by windows 7 by default, it is therefore omitted.
*2 file date modified is not altered when a file is copied and is therefore omitted.
Have I missed any?
