in juce\_CopyFile() on the mac I added:

[code]  
if (okForks \> 0) // some files seem to be ok even if not all their forks get copied…  
{  
const char\* const srcUTF8 = src.toUTF8();

```
	struct stat info;
	const int res = stat (srcUTF8, &info);
	if (res == 0)
	{
		info.st_mode &= 0777; // Just permissions

		const char* const dstUTF8 = dst.toUTF8();
		bool ok = chmod (dstUTF8, info.st_mode) == 0;
	}
	return true;
}
else
{
	return false;
}[/code]

```

Do you see any reason not to add it? It allows me to copy bundles and still run them.

I found another bug:

```auto

```

should be

```auto

```

Or files with spaces won’t launch.
