Support sparse files? #407

Closed SCasarella closed 4 months ago

SCasarella commented 8 months ago

Does the current version support sparse files? (It does not seem to as far as I can tell.) Any plans/solution?

When copying sparse files you loose the 'sparse'-ness. Means after copying a sparse file you have one contigous file in the destination.

Furthermore it does not mark sparse files as it does for compressed or encrypted files.

But moving/renaming/symlinking/... should work.

LinkShellExtension can do this

I don't think there's anything actionable here. Please reopen if there's a specific piece of sparse support that's being requested.
