SharePoint list event receivers not firing when copying and pasting using explorer view

Question

Here\'s the deal, I have various event receivers registered to a document library:

• ItemAdded
• ItemAdding
• ItemFileMoved
• ItemUpdating

The problem you are encountering is one of the most annoying features of SharePoint, for some reason it not only overlooks our metadata requirements but also the events you are trying to capture when using the explorer view or unc path. I beleive the only workaround for this is to create a WWF workflow.
