Greetings all!
I have, at various times, written code for doing local file operations. Depending on my mood, they have used the Finder, System Events, or shell commands via 'do shell script'. Now I want to collect the best into handlers in a master library for file operations. Right off, some things are obvious:
- the Finder drags along its sluggish UI
- System Events can't duplicate files or folders
- the 'do shell script' command has some overhead
Do any of you list gurus who know AppleScript "under-the-hood" have any thoughts as to which application (of the above three, another one, or a mix) will provide the best balance of reliability and speed (with emphasis on reliability)?
Thanks,
Stan C.
