I've run into this too. Adding "with properties" to "duplicate" is
a necessity.
A work around, that I haven't tried, would be to: 'duplicate' to
the "TemporaryItems" folder;
Which requires that there isn't already a file by that name!
The only way would be:
* Create a temporary folder with some unique name
The temporary folder I was referring to is already part of the system.
It's full path name is:
/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/
and in AppleScript its referred to as simply:
path to temporary items
(its in the StandardAdditions dictionary)
Indded, use path to temporary items or path to "temp".
But as of Leopard it is no longer "/private/var/tmp/folders.501/
TemporaryItems/"
It is a different beat altogether.
I believe Apple was not happy with people playing there...
