Environment and How-To reproduce the bug:
VirtualBox (oracle's virtual machine from virtualbox.org) running on Linux.
Host machine : Linux (Fedora 18)
Guest Machine : Windows XP SP3
There is a "Shared Folder" on the Linux host.
The "Shared Folder" is mapped as drive "E:" on Windows XP guest machine.
Use "Beyond Compare" on Windows XP to compare Drive "C:" to drive "E:" and to copy/move files between the two drives.
The files and folders on Drive "E:" are seen erroneously as hidden files.
All files and folders are marked as hidden when they are copied from the shared folder into the c:drive of the virtual machine using Beyond compare.
A simple copy paste using windows explorer works normally. Any other program I ever use does not present any problems.
Thus, IMHO this is a Beyond Compare BUG (and NOT Windows or Virtualbox bug).
I hope this may be of help to you to improve the product and also, if this is not the correct place to report a bug, please do that for me.
