Copy and Paste in Explorer View

I've ranted before about Explorer view and how it basically screws with your version history. This is basically why I delete it on most document libraries I roll out. So if you copy and paste a document (or a series of documents) from one Explorer View to another here's what you get:

1. The document is copied across from source to destination
2. An entry in the version history is created in the destination library for each entry in the source document library
3. All versions point to the unique copies of the document in the destination library but the document itself is the latest version from the source document library
4. Comments for each version are not brought across

YMMV. At least this is what I experience whenever I do it. Might be my infrastructure that is causing this but I've tried it with various browsers, end user operating systems, and service packs and get the same results. Try it out with your own setup and let me know if you get the same results.

Update Note: Got an email from my fellow Canuck on the other side of our country Amanda Murphy about their product called Trace. Looks pretty nice and adds a cut/copy command to the menu and the ability to resolve conflicts (like mapping columns) when you paste a document into a new doclib. So check it out here. If you buy it remember to mention my name so I can get my $1 commission (kidding about that Amanda).
