[New-bugs-announce] [issue5168] shutil.copystat does not copy the "hidden" flag on windows

[Horváth István Róbert]

New submission from Horváth István Róbert <throbi at gmail.com>:

Hi!

While copying hidden files on windows, the hidden flag is lost
(surprisingly the read-only flag is copied).

Is this a bug or a feature? The documentation only says that flags are
also copied by shutil.copystat, but no details.

See the attached file for an example.

Cheers,
Robert
