Ask for elevation instead of just erroring out #325

Closed eugenesvk closed 3 months ago

Describe the solution you'd like If the app isn't elevated, but requires it for ACL copying, it just does the copy but logs BackupWrite(DIRACL)(Access is denied.5) I'd like to have an option instead to NOT do the copy, but instead request elevation with an explanation of why it's needed

Additional context At the very least you could not do the copy and show a warning that elevation is needed so I could click on the "elevate" button

A limitation of BackupWrite is that even if it can be set the ACL, an error message will appear if it doesn't have permission to set the file Owner. To solve this, it will need to use a different API, but this is something we will consider for the future.
