copyWithoutXAttr Description
copyWithoutXAttr copies files to a specified destination but suppresses the copying of extended attributes Files on OS X can have resource forks and other extended attributes and as of Tiger (10.4) the 'cp' command copies these extended attributes. This AppleScript droplet copies files to a specified destination but suppresses the copying of extended attributes.copyWithoutXAttr proves to be useful when the destination is on a non-HFS volume in order to avoid the "._" files that would otherwise be produced.copyWithoutXAttr illustrates several useful AppleScript techniques:· handling the files dropped on an AppleScript droplet· a separate handler that gets invoked when the droplet is double-clicked· converting filepaths from traditional Macintosh colon-separated format (as used in AppleScript) to standard Unix slash-separated format for use with 'do shell script'
