Moving folder with description

I was wondering if there is a way to set DO to copy the description from a folder or files when i copy/move it to a new location.

Thx

Settings -> Preferences -> File Operations -> Copying (1)

Check 'Preserve the description of copied files' .

You probably already have this checked,
but be certain Settings -> Preferences -> Folders -> Options has checked 'Support descript.ion file comments system' .

Hi,

both those options are already checked, but when i copied the folder that had a description, the description was not transfered.

btw.. i also have "hide comment files when marked as hidden" checked off

Edit:

i found out what is going on... it is copying the comments from files, but not the descriptions when i set it for the folder. So basically I have to set the description at the folder level and propogate it to all the files inside that folder if i expect the comment to copy/move when i do so to the files. I would have expected if I were to put a descripton solely on the folder that it would copy over, but it does not. Perhaps a bug?

Your're right ! I also see this now .
I also have "hide comment files when marked as hidden" checked to the off state.
Yes, file descriptions are transfered correctly,
but Folder descriptions are not transfered unless the folder is in a Subdirectory.
File descriptions do not need to be in a SubDirectory to be copied correctly.

I'm not certain I see this.
Perhaps I misunderstand you .

Ditto ! We understand each other !
I agree it may be a Bug !
Thankyou very much for pointing this out to me.
I was unaware of it.
