It would be great if there was more control over how permissions are handled when copying/moving files.

Here is a specific example:

Say I have two folders, with the "Apply To" value for the permissions set to "This folder, subfolders and files" (i.e. all subfolders and files inherit permissions from the parent folder)

C:\Data\MyFolder -- permissions set so only one user can write files here
C:\Data\GroupFolder -- permissions set so multiple users can write files here

When copying a file from "MyFolder" to "GroupFolder", the permissions on the new file are correctly inherited from the GroupFolder permissions.

However, when moving a file from "MyFolder" to "GroupFolder", the permissions on the file are still set to the MyFolder permissions.

Is there any way to make it so that moving a file from "MyFolder" to "GroupFolder" would result in the file's permissions being inherited from "GroupFolder"?  This is how it works when using Windows Explorer.

Thanks!
