Uhmm, not specifically that I know of, thought our friend the Finder is now
copy "aware" as of OS 9.1
--begin silly stuff: (As always watch the line wraps and any other Mail
translations that may occur."
property toggle : {}
on run
set toggle to false
end run
on idle
tell application "Finder"
if execution state = copying then --Mac OS 9.1
activate
set position of status window 1 to {408, 386}
activate
display dialog "Copying" giving up after 3 with icon 1
else if execution state copying then --Mac OS 9.1
if toggle = false then
set folderToCopy to folder "BlueBox:Documents:iTunes:iTunes
Music:Sting"
try
with timeout of 1 * 1 seconds
activate
duplicate folderToCopy to folder "BlueBox:Desktop
Folder:test" with replacing
end timeout --get out of copy
end try --get out of copy
set toggle to true
else if toggle = true then
set ToDelete to first folder of folder "BlueBox:Desktop
Folder:test" whose name is "Sting"
move (ToDelete as alias) to trash
empty
set toggle to false
tell me to quit
end if
end if
end tell
return 1 * 1
end idle
