Automator Workflow Copying Files

Question

I want to create an Automator workflow that copy items to a destination folder but ignores files that already exist in the destination. I begin having trouble at the "Copy Finder Items" action where the only options are to replace existing files or create duplicates in th destination folder?

Answer 1

My bad.
Try this script instead:
tell application "Finder"
          set source_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the source folder:")
          set target_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the destination folder:")
          if source_folder is not target_folder then
                    set the_files to every file of source_folder
                    repeat with each_file in the_files
                              set file_name to name of each_file
                              if not (exists file file_name of target_folder) then
  duplicate each_file to target_folder
                              end if
                    end repeat
          else
                    display dialog "Choose different folders as source and target!" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon stop
          end if
end tell
It does what the first one should have done - checks the name of each file against the files already in the source folder and only duplicates those which aren't already there.
