Version: BC 4.1.3 on Windows 7 64-bit
Remark: DidnĀ“t find an according thread in the forum and also no according item in the BC options/settings.
Hi,
I mainly use folder compare sessions and manually copy files back and forth between the sides (selecting them and pressing the "Copy" button / Ctrl+L). This works fine for local folders and also between local drives and mapped network drives so far.
But recently I used it having a remote SharePoint on one side and a network drive on the other side. When copying text files (txt, xml, aspx, ...) , their encoding seems to be converted, so the copies on the network drive are bigger than the original files on the SharePoint. For that reason they are shown as different. If you change the session settings to rules based comparison they are no longer shown as different. But I assume that this would increase the time it takes even more.
The same conversion happens when I copy the files using the Windows Explorer, by the way. So probably BC just uses that process in the background.
Question: Is there a ways to force binary copying without conversion? This may introduce some risks for subsequent file handling and processing, I know. But if you know what you are doing this may help in some cases.
Thanks and best regards,
krza
