This may need to go on the wishlist.
When synchronizing files between a desktop and laptop, using a mapped network drive, I run BC as root because some of the directories/files are only accessible by root, while others are accessible by my normal user account.
When I copy a file over an existing file, the owner:group of the existing file is retained, which is correct. But if I copy a file that has to be created on the destination, the owner:group is root:root, even if the destination directory is my normal user's home directory.
I'd like to be able to specify that when creating files in certain directories, the file's owner:group should be something other than root:root. :cool:
