One more thing that I rememberd when this thread popped up:
The Standard form for "duplicate" allowas a "with properties". Finder
doesn't.
Finder allows ist for "make".
This is a big hinderance.
In one of my projects I needed to copy a file under a different name to
harddisk. But it may not appear under the original name in the target
directory and it may not appear under the target name in the original
directory. So renaming before or after copying is not an option. It has
to be copied and renamed in one step:
duplicate original to targetdir replacing yes with properties { name :
"targetName" }
would be a proper command, but it doesn't work.
