'Cloning the current item' for multiple selections

[kiwichick]

Hi there, I've come across the 'Cloning' command in the Help File which is AWESOME because I do that kind of thing heaps. But it only works on one selected item (even if multiple items are selected). How do I get it to work for multiple selections? Cheers.

Yes the command "new" works for one item at a time only, use foreach loop instead something like:

Code: Select all

//Clone selected items
     foreach($item, <get SelectedItemsPathNames |>){
     new(, , "$item");
     }

Thanks heaps, serendipity!! I had managed to get a 'clone' script semi-working with a foreach loop but I had part of the 'new' command wrong. I did manage to achieve the same result I was after by using this code:

Code: Select all

copyas "*.?";

So, what is the difference between 'cloning' and 'copying' an item? Cheers.
