4.11 The copy info dialog                                     TeraDesk

If  a selection is made in the  Copy and print... options dialog  that
some  file operations  should be confirmed, the Copy info dialog  will
appear whenever  such an operation  is attempted.  It will also appear
when such an operation has been requested through The AV Protocol.

This dialog displays  the number of  folders  and files  on which  the
operation is to be performed,  the initial source  path  (of the first
selected item) and, if appropriate, the  destination path.

For copy, touch and  move/rename operations, four checkbox buttons are
shown in the dialog:

- Reset date and time
- Reset attributes (and access rights)
- Follow links (for copy, move/rename and delete operations)
- Shorten names (for copy and move/rename operations)

If 'Reset date and time' is set, all files acted upon  will have their
date and time  stamp  changed to current values (system date and time)
or, in the case of the  'touch' operation,  to values specified in the
Info... dialog).

If  'Reset attributes' is  set, attributes  (read-only,  system, etc.)
or access rights  (read, write...) of  all items  acted  upon  will be
reset to  default values  (or, in the case of a 'touch'  operation, to
values specified in Info... dialog).

If 'Follow links' is set, selected Symbolic Links  will be followed to
their referenced objects,  and those objects will be  copied, moved or
deleted  instead  of the links themselves  (except in deletion,  which
will remove both the referenced objects and the links). This option is
available only in MiNT and MagiC.

This dialog  can also appear  when confirming printing operations.  In
such case,  three radio-buttons and a checkbox will appear, permitting
the user to set some printing options; see Print...
