SERIOUS Copy Bug with Q2010 if you have lots of attachments

All bank and credit card statement attachments are now part of the main
*.QDF file.
I did a copy of my main file of 300k size, and ended up with a file of only
100k.
Validated and supervalidated main file, copied again, and still only 100k.
Turns out all my bank statements make it to the copy, but all credit card
statements are deleted.
Just a heads up for people to check their file sizes after doing a copy.

Work-around:
Use "Save a copy as..." instead of File Operations-Copy.
That preserves credit card attachments.

A new feature for Q2010?

Does it take as long as a regular Copy, or more like a Backup?

John:

Backup of my 300k file takes 23 seconds.
"Save a copy as..." takes 25 seconds.
File Operations-Copy takes 101 seconds.

Of course, File Operations-Copy has to lop off all those pesky attachments
;-)
