Is this known to be broken?

set n to "someName.txt"
duplicate (choose file) to (choose folder) with properties {name:n}

That snippet won't compile in a Finder block which complains about the "{" but since duplicate is a Standard Editions verb it doesn't need the Finder. As is it hangs in some kind of internal problem without duplicating the file to the chosen folder.

Is it new ?

Looking at the dictionaries I got:

tell application "System Events"

set n to "someName.txt"

duplicate (choose file) to (choose folder) with properties {name:n}

end tell

duplicate v : Copy object(s) and put the copies at a new location.

duplicate reference : the object for the command

to location reference : The location for the new object(s).

[with properties record] : Properties to be set in the new duplicated object(s).

tell application "Finder"

set n to "someName.txt"

-- duplicate (choose file) to (choose folder) with properties {name:n}

end tell

duplicate v : Duplicate one or more object(s)

duplicate reference : the object(s) to duplicate

[to location reference] : the new location for the object(s)

[replacing boolean] : Specifies whether or not to replace items in the destination that have the same name as items being duplicated

[routing suppressed boolean] : Specifies whether or not to autoroute items (default is false). Only applies when copying to the system folder.

Å® reference : to the duplicated object(s)

There is NO parameter 'with' in the Finder's one.
