    Thanks for the replication code! Yesterday I tried to alter an example script that replaces the text in names on my desktop. I want to be able to set it so that the script automatically sets the search parameter as both file names and folders instead of a button prompt, but I am not sure how...

    [AppleScript] Duplicate files with timestamp

    Hi, I downloaded a copy of your duplicator script today. It works very well with highlighted files. As a new user to script editor (I am very asinine with computers), I have not been able to understand very much of the jargon presented in the tutorials. How do I create a script that duplicates...
