Description
- Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18990.1]
uname -a produces: Linux 4.19.67-microsoft-standard #1 SMP Sun Aug 18 13:37:54 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- What you're doing and what's happening: This occurs when using Windows Explorer.
- Download a file from an online resource into a windows folder. For example, this image downloaded into your Downloads folder.
- Drag/Copy/Move said file into a WSL directory.
- Notice the file that is also created, named like "movedfile•Zone.Identifier", but instead of a bullet it is the character 0xF03A (Unicode: U+F03A). It does render like a bullet in Windows Explorer though.
- What's wrong / what should be happening instead: The filename•Zone.Identifier NFTS files should not be created.
Contents of the Zone Identifier file are as to be expected, my sample having the contents:
[ZoneTransfer]
ZoneId=3
