Those were not false restrictions but true ones I had in May 2006. As I said before "cp" solves the problem. It's just that "Finder" is missing an important feature.


But, as I already wrote earlier, Jon's workaround is no solution as it is impossible, using just AppleScript, to delete the temporary stuff created in a clean way.

As a thank-you the nice verbe you invented, here is an excerpt for you from the Apple Dictionary:

I will use it in the figurative sense when I say: I stop arguing with people wearing blinders.
