Actually, KiX tries to be smart, and does use the file attributes of the source and the target. However, things get complicated when the target does not yet exist. In this situation, KiXtart fails the COPY/MOVE if the source is a directory or wildcard spec (because it does not know what you want to happen), unless the target ends with a backslash (in which case KiX assumes you intend the target to be a directory).

If this sounds complicated, then that is because it actually is [Smile]
