electronic papyrus:
Hi all,
I was meddling with the System Events dictionary and encountered a neat
variation of the Finder's duplicate command:
duplicate: 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).
I like the ability to set the properties of the duplicated file (such
as name), but I don't like the fact that... it doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone knows if this feature works at all? (Chris?)
Perhaps it's not hooked up for file objects. Might work for other
types of items, such as words from one text window to another,
attribute runs from one text object to another, etc. Could become
pretty damn cool someday...
-boo
