files with system attribute set are not copied to new location

[yipinx]

Hey FreeFileSync Developer(s),

I found that FreeFileSync is not syncronizing files with the system attribute set. I browsed the forum a bit and found that some people believe that it is not necessary. I disagree.
We use icons to differentiate between folders for people with a eye/dislectic handycap. Windows uses a desktop.ini file in a folder to determine the icon used. Since its not copied, that whole idea fails.
Sometimes I too create software that uses the system attribute to hide certain files (configuration file for a project folder), however not to copy them would be not usefull at all.
Please make this a option at least.
Regards,
Yipinx

I'm not aware of FreeFileSync not being able to copy files with the system attribute set. Do you have steps how to reproduce this problem?

PS: have a look at the filter settings: Desktop.ini is excluded by default!
