Copying descriptions in DESCRIPT.ION

[Scott]

The What's New for version 15 mentions that it "supports copying descriptions in DESCRIPT.ION when copying / dragging / dropping files in the Folder & List View windows."

However, I can't get any descriptions to copy over using DESCRIPT.ION descriptions. Is there a configuration flag for this I need to turn on, or is it just not working yet in the 15.00.18 build?

It's working here.

Can you give me the exact sequence of events you're doing to reproduce the problem?

And did you uncheck "NTFS Descriptions" in the TCMD (not TCC) Advanced configuration dialog?

Sorry didn't see your reply until now.

1. Run TC 15.0 release (5.1.2600).
2. Click Options/Configure Take Command/Advanced
3. Confirm "Enable Descriptions" is checked and "NTFS Descriptions" is unchecked.
4. Click OK.
5. At TCC prompt: cdd c:\temp2\
6. At TCC prompt: describe Ditto.exe "test description"
7. At TCC prompt: type DESCRIPT.ION
8. Verify DESCRIPT.ION contains "Ditto.exe" test description 2
9. Verify Ditto.exe shows description correctly in List View
10. Drag Ditto.exe in List View into directory "temp3" in Folders
11. Click c:\temp3 in Folders
12. Ditto.exe in c:\temp3 now exists but shows no description in List View
13. At TCC prompt: cdd c:\temp3\
14. At TCC prompt: type DESCRIPT.ION
15. Descript.ion does not exist.

I'm running the 32-bit version on Windows XP, if that helps.
