How do I use Finder & find documentation?


  • Subject: How do I use Finder & find documentation?

I want to have users drop a folder on an applet and work off of certain files in that folder: (a) I want to create a bundle (my app-specific) with that file's name (xyz.ext -> xyz.premier).
(b) I want to then copy that file into the bundle ("xyz.ext" moves to xyz.premier/Contents/xyz.ext)

I believe that I have the script working to the point that it finds the file & extracts the non-extension part of the file name.

I think the easiest way to create a bundle is to duplicate a starting bundle, then rename it.

However, I don't seem to see a "duplicate", rename, move, or copy (well the copy says its not implemented) in the Finder's dictionary.

How do I duplicate, rename, and copy files and folders? Where would I find documentation on this? I didn't see a lot of example documentation

Thanks!

Mark
