Not that I've been able to figure out.
Otherwise, i could catch the error (15267), and copy the file with a
new name: how can i do that with Finder?
Best as I can tell, you can't do it directly. Here is my work around.
set file_to_copy to (choose file)
set target_folder to (choose folder)
tell application "Finder"
try
duplicate file_to_copy to target_folder without replacing
on error msg number num
if num is -15267 then
set new_name to display dialog msg & " Please choose another
name for the copy." default answer (name of file_to_copy) & " copy"
set new_file to duplicate file_to_copy
move new_file to target_folder
else
display dialog msg
end if
end try
end tell
and what if (name of file_to_copy) & " copy" already exists ? ;-)
