- Copy All Files and Directorys in a Tree
-
- This function makes a complete copy of a tree or sub tree in another
- spot. The directory at the tree cursor is the root of the tree to be
- copied. The destination directory will be chosen with the directory
- selection window. All subdirectorys at the destination will be created
- as necessary. If the destination tree already exists, you can also
- replace or update the files that are already there. There are 3 gadgets
- that control replacement. If you activate the REPL gadget any like named
- files in like named sub directorys will be overwritten unless their
- protection bits don't allow it. If they are protected, you will be prompted
- for permission to overwrite. If you select the UPDATE gadget, like named
- files will be overwritten only if the modification date/time is later on
- the source file than the destination file. UPDATE implys REPLACE. You
- may also force the override of any protection bits by selecting the OVER
- gadget. OVER also implys REPLACE. OVER and UPDATE may be used together.
- Files that are overwritten using the OVER gadget will not have their
- protection bits changed, so they will still be protected after the copy
- if they were before.
-
- When you have set the above three gadgets as desired click the OK gadget
- and you will then be asked to select the destination directory. If you
- decide not to copy, click the CANCEL gadget to abort the operation.
-
- Note: If you are copying a tree to a like named tree on another drive,
- the tree is copied into the directory you select. For example, to copy
- the tree DH0:Test to DH1:Test choose DH1: as the destination directory,
- not DH1:Test. If you choose DH1:Test as the destination, you will get
- tree DH1:Test/Test created.
