          @d-healey If you copy a file somewhere you must ensure that the parent directory exists or the copy action will fail (because it will never implicitly create directories).

            @d-healey it needed to be written / copied to a file, not a directory :)

              Does copy() only work for specific types of files? I'm trying to copy image files, but it's not working:

              const var sourceFile = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Desktop).getChildFile("OldImage.jpg");
              sourceFile.copy(FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Downloads).getChildFile("NewImage.jpg"));
              

              but it works with text:

              const var sourceFile = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Desktop).getChildFile("OldText.txt");
              sourceFile.copy(FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Downloads).getChildFile("NewText.txt"));
              

              If so, how can I copy images to new locations?

                @Dan-Korneff I just tested and this works for me

                const source = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.UserHome).getChildFile("original.png");
                const target = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Desktop).getChildFile("test.png");
                
                source.copy(target);

                  @d-healey Thanks for testing! It looks like pilot error. It WAS copying the files... with the original attributes. When I sorted my file browser by date, I was expecting to see the new file at the top.

                    I'm guessing you're on a Mac?

                        @Dan-Korneff Oooh I thought it would give fresh meta data on Windows, interesting!

                          create dates would be the same I think - date modified should be different on Windows
