Public bug reported: As it is now, when using nautilus to copy files from a directory residing on an NTFS partition to another directory residing on an NTFS partition, file attributes (like 'hidden', "'system') are lost. This can be fixed by using ntfscp (from the ntfsprogs package) to copy files when both the source and destination reside on an NTFS file system.
