Suppose you want from time to time to update a destination folder with new files that where created at a origin folder. It´s a kind of synchronization, where new files in origin must be "added" to destination. No worry about files that changed, just the new ones. The natural way: FileCopy ($originFolder & "\*.*" , $destinationFolder , $FC_NOOVERWRITE) After many tests, where I have 300 .jpg files in origin and no subfolders: If there is nothing at destination => OK, copy is done. Now destination has 300 files. If I erase at destination 10 files in the middle (explorer, shift del) and then filecopy => the 10 deleted files are NOT copied !! If I erase at destination 10 files "at the beginning"* (explorer, shift del) and then filecopy => the 10 deleted files are copied !! = OK !! * "at beginning" = sorted by name, ascending, erase the 10 first ones. ** I tried $originFolder & "\*.*" , $originFolder&"\" , $originFolder , and many other variants. The same for destination. So, what´s seems to me is that when FileCopy finds the first file from origin that exists at destination it stops to search. That´s expected behavior? Best Regards Jose
