Comment (by aldeck):
I doubt this is a Tracker bug, though i can't test. Does it happen also
when copying (bfs -> ntfs) from terminal?
I didn't know our ntfs addon supported copying attributes, btw, on
Windows, is the failing copy destination on a fat32 partition by any
chance? That would explain the Windows message. An NTFS file can have
multiple streams inside the same file (i.e. meta-data / attributes), FAT
doesn't support multiple streams, so you will loose the alternate streams.
(Note for another ticket: we might want to add the same kind of alert in
Haiku when copying data to an attribute-less filesystem)
