If there is indeed a connection, that would hint at two bugs. Our "cp" implementation should copy all attributes by default and Tracker should simply not crash. Maybe you just saw Tracker crash and thought it had something to do with you messing with files in the Terminal before? Maybe it's completely unrelated. You should post a stacktrace of the Tracker crash in any case. Best regards, -Stephan
