MarkBTW, I am copying from one ext4 drive to another ext4 drive, so permissions should not be an issue.After I sent my last email, I tried successive versions of Meld until I found the latest version I could run with my version of GTK+. I am able to run meld 3.14.1 as meld 3.15 requires the updated GTK+ files. With this version I get the exact same error as with 3.12. Maybe it was fixed in a version after 3.14.1?Kai,Happy New Year!On Mon, Jan 2, 2017 at 2:16 PM, Kai Willadsen <kai willadsen gmail com> wrote:On 1 January 2017 at 15:59, Mark Phillips <mark phillipsmarketing biz> wrote:OK, I was able to download the 3.12 version and run that because my GTK+ is only up to 3.10.This version helped a lot, as I was able to get things to work with the "compare files only by size and timestamp". In that the list of files comes right up and the missing files are indicated.However, with every "copy right" command I get an error -

[Errno 38] Function not implemented: '/media/mark/My Passport/Movies/The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D (1993) 1080p HSBS BrRip x264 YIFY.mp4'However, the file is copied correctly. Not sure what the error is trying to tell me, but as far as I can see there is no error. Perhaps a bug fixed in a later release?I think so, yes. In 3.13.0 we fixed a problem that looks like this, where we'd throw an exception if the file system you were copying to didn't support setting permissions, etc. Given that you're copying to an external drive, I strongly suspect that this is what you're seeing.cheers,Kai
