I may miss something but the following is the nearest thing to directory "copy" i would like to have from shell:
Objective having the directory itssef & all it subdirs & files keeping their datestamp

How? add some option? Have "clone all" working that way?

The following command works indeed sometimes as "wantted" , here for the directory AGuid_

0.Stock:Backup_Datas/Gui4Cli/GuiCreator> list Aguid_#?
AGuid_ Dir ----rwed 15-Dec-11 11:57:26
1 directory - 2 blocks used

0.Stock:Backup_Datas/Gui4Cli/GuiCreator> copy clone all aGuid#? ram: // copies correctly the dir AGuid_

if there is n other file or dir starting with aGuid# you will also copy those of course

0.Stock:Backup_Datas/Gui4Cli/GuiCreator> copy clone all aGuid_#? ram: // copies only the files in AGuid_

But here it won't work:

0.Stock:Backup_Datas> list graphic#?
Graphics Dir ----rwed 09-Jan-15 16:01:12
1 directory - 2 blocks used

10.Stock:Backup_Datas> copy clone all graphic# ram:
COPY: bad template

You can't copy a directory AND its contents unless you start higher up, you have to have the destination already in place.

eg:
Copy all clone SYS:Devs/USB/#? to <destination>
or
Copy all clone SYS:Devs/USB/ to <destination>

will copy all the contents of USB/, not the USB drawer itself. If you want to copy the drawer as well, then:
MakeDir dest/USB
Copy all clone SYS:Devs/USB/ to dest/USB/

This is not true. You can copy source:xxx to dest:xxx without makedir dest:xxx before. Dest:xxx is created if it does not exist. Only if you copy to dest:xxx/yyy and dest:xxx does not exist, then you need makedir.

thanks, i did miss that, works with 'clone all' as i wanted.

As I copied a number of directories in other ways that lost their datestamp,
is there some way to just "list" one directory with its datestamp (its content is not what i want)
(allowing me to select the datestamp & imposing it to the copied directory using setdate
)

try "list (name)", for example

list devs:(usb)

This makes it a wildcard, forcing directory scan, but matches only the one name.

this is better

unfortunately

7.RAM Disk:> list ram:t#? dirs
Directory "ram:" on Wednesday 04-Mar-15
T Dir ----rwed 20-Jan-15 10:38:14
1 directory - 2 blocks used

no errror message but no effect either

Which "effect" do you expect? You set date/time to 20-Jan-15 10:38:14 and the list command reflects exactly that. What else should happen?

This obviously is a bug. In OS3 it works as expected.

Code: Select all
