Help with AmigaDOS 1.3
« on: November 30, 2023, 01:26:51 AM »
Hi guys, I have a couple of questions regarding AmigaDOS:

1) If I have a folder on df0: called “MyFolder”, what would be the copy command to clone this directory and its associated ‘.info’ file to dh0: ? Whilst I can do it using two copy commands, I can’t figure out how to do it with just one. Note: we have to assume that df0: contains other files/folders that shouldn’t copied.

2) Many operating systems use “.” to represent the current path (i.e “ copy /dir/file . “). How do I specify the current path in AmigaDOS?

3) For WB project icons, it’s common for default tools to be specified in the format “:Folder/Tool”. This works well when cloning the floppy to the root directory of the HDD file system, but not so well when cloning to a sub-directory. Rather than changing the default tool for every file on the floppy, is there a practical way of remapping tool path which begin with “:”?

I should point out that I’m using WB 1.3, and I’ve tried for many hours to resolve these issues without success.

Therefore, any help, no matter how small, would be gratefully received.

Thanks Thomas, the info is very much appreciated.

I don't find 1.3 too difficult to work with, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut  ;D

Thanks for the response RhoSigma, it's very much appreciated.

Sure, I could have just dragged the icon from one disk to the other, but I'm trying to learn as much about AmigaDOS 1.3 as  can.
