Considering the less-than-wonderful results I've obtained with "entire
contents", wouldn't it be simpler to
duplicate items of folderA to folderB
"items" would cover both the folders and files in folderA. If you
wanted to copy just the files in folderA and all its subfolders you
could say
duplicate files of entire contents of folderA to folderB
The only problem is that somehow, mysteriously, the Finder often misses
some of those files in seemingly random way. I've been able to manage
this with "the entries in" from Akua Sweets.
