macOS "replacing" command clarification

[nicolem]

Hi all,

Think I have a simple question, but I'm not sure.

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
	tell application "Finder"
		duplicate added_items to folder "  Proofs" of disk "Advertising" with replacing
	end tell
end adding folder items to

"with replacing" is not replacing the file if it already exists. So if the file already exists, the script just quits. I need it to replace existing files without asking.

Suggestions?

Thanks!
Nicole

Nevermind. It wasn't working for some reason, but I left it for a while, then tried again and it works.
