Bug#912011: Add option to Copy/Move to preserve sparse files

Package: mc Version: 3:4.8.21-1 Followup-For: Bug #912011 Actually, sorry, please close this bug report. mc in fact does preserve sparse files by default. I just tested it and sparse files were still sparse after copying. (would be nice to have an option in copy/move dialog tho, I guess)

Bug#912011: Add option to Copy/Move to preserve sparse files

Package: mc Version: 3:4.8.21-1 Severity: normal Similar to `cp --sparse=always` or `cp --sparse=auto`, or `rsync --sparse` or `dd conv=sparse`. This is extremally useful when moving virtual disk images for example, especially when doing this between filesystems. Thank you. -- System
