Allow privilege escalation to copy files #58

Open mattstermiller opened 6 years ago

mattstermiller commented 6 years ago

Example: attempting to copy files into a Program Files folder on Windows 10 will fail with an access denied error. Explorer does the UAC prompt to escalate privileges to allow the copy. I don't know how feasible this is.

A bit of research shows that I would have to start a separate process as admin to perform the move/copy. Perhaps it could be Koffee run with arguments, or a small separate exe. This sounds like a fair amount of work to get it to run smoothly.
