Forgive me if this is a simple question but I've never seen an example of
it. In order to duplicate and rename a file, I've been using:
set duplicateEPS to duplicate alias EPSFiller to folder EPSFolder
set name of duplicateEPS to (currentEntryAdNumber & ".tif")
Is it not possible to combine those into one step so that the original file
is duplicated as it is copied? After reading a little bit about the Finder
being multithreaded and how you can have multiple copies going at the same
time, I'm curious as to whether I can speed up a script. However, the script
I have is duplicating the same file and giving it a different name, not
duplicating different files so the technique won't work with this particular
coding as the same file will keep trying to copy onto itself.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
