Dotfiles won't copy/move? Just...hangs?
« on: Yesterday at 23:29:41 »
So, I'm running 3133 on windows 10 (and 11) and have an issue where any filename that begins with a "."  (\users\foo\.frob) won't copy or move.  When MC gets to that file (whether it's the only one or in the midst of a queue) it simply stops as if it's about to copy it.

Only skipping the file will allow the process to continue.

Is there a setting I'm missing or is there something clever in the globbing system?

Normal local NTFS filesystem ? or remote into a linux ?
Any error in the logs (ctrl+L , FileOperation log  )

Something special with the file ? does it have readonly or system attributes ?

If I create a file call ".file" I have no issue with copy/move it..
