Newb alert.
I'm trying to copy some files and folders from one location to another. I would like to overwrite them at the destination. Is this possible yet?
[theManager copyPath:theSettings toPath:theDestinationFile handler:nil];
I've read the documentation: "The file specified in source must exist, while destination must not yet exist." and also see this older post regarding it: http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2005/3/30/131694
But that was a while ago (2005). Has this function been added in xCode 3/Obj-C 2? I'm working on 10.4.11 with xCode 2.5 but I also have 10.5/xC3 at home, but I'm not in front of it right now.
FWIW, Applescript makes it incredibly easy:
move folder "Safari" of folder myImport to folder "Library" of folder myUserFolder with replacing
Is the only viable option to force-delete any files/folders already there [removeFileAtPath:handler:]?
Thanks, Chris
