electronic papyrus:
Le 19 juil. 04, ` 07:00, email@hidden a icrit :
If I write:
--
duplicate {FolderA, FolderB} to FolderC with replacing
--
The 1st folder: FolderA is the only one to be copied
I am obliged to write instead:
--
duplicate FolderA to FolderC with replacing
duplicate FolderB to FolderC with replacing
--
Is it a known bug or an unknown from me, AS "feature"?
I think this is a relatively recent bug, where the replacing parameter
only works when a single entity is involved.
I haven't tried, but what if you make the destination a list as well?
-boo
You mean:
--
set mylist to (FolderA, FolderB)
duplicate mylist to FolderC with replacing
--
?
No; what you typed there looks like a syntax error anyway. ;)
I meant this:
duplicate {FolderA, FolderB} to {FolderC, FolderC} with replacing
My reasoning is based on how we set variables in lists:
set {foo, bar} to {1, 2}
-boo
