--> 3. Recursive ascend follows
1 and 2: My Tixati is set to use FAST ALLOCATE for files, why is it setting SPARSE with 0x0 EOF? Sounds like this will cause zero preallocation and fragmentation later?
3. Following with a file handle on the parent directory, Tixati does a recursive ascension and separate Open/Close handles on folders to query:
In this order for each parent folder excluding disk root. There's 'GetFileAttributesExW' if you wanted to query file information without a handle (including IS DIRECTORY).
Finally, Tixati does not carry over the file times. None of them. Although bittorrent doesn't transfer them either, I believe local file times should be preserved at all times.
