You may use Shane STANLEY's ASObjC Runner.app to replace some features missing in System Events.

And yet it lacks a direct duplicate command. I'm curious to know what the OP uses duplicate for.


Thanks for the suggestion. I wanted to replace the Finder duplicate command in a folder action script - more as an exercise than a need. I ended up using a do shell script cp command. Can't really tell if it is any faster. The FA is copying very large Photoshop files and the limiting factor seems to be disk speed.

I'll work on System Events dictionary for a while longer. System Events is an app that I've tended to ignore.
