Copy a pre-existing folder in Finder to the current folder location

@Antonio_Esguerra, thanks for showing me that. I can see where the issue is.

The problem is the misuse of the ~ character in the templateFolderPath on line 3.
~ is a path shorthand for /Users/YOUR USER NAME HERE/, therefore you don't need to add that again if you're using it.

You can fix the issue in two ways. Replace line 3 with either of these:

const templateFolderPath = '/Users/werk/Desktop/New Song Folder';

or

const templateFolderPath = '~/Desktop/New Song Folder';

Andrew! I'm doing well, thanks!

Yes, this is definitely doable. I would opt to use .forEach for this, like so:

function copyTemplateToSelectedFolder() {
    const sourceFolderPath = '~/Desktop/TemplateFolder';
    const sourceFolderName = sourceFolderPath.split('/').slice(-1)[0];
    const selectedPath = sf.ui.finder.firstSelectedPath;

    // Get paths of all files in Source Folder
    const folderContents = sf.file.directoryGetEntries({
        path: sourceFolderPath,
    }).paths;

    // Copy files
    folderContents.forEach(filePath => {
        // Get file name
        const fileName = filePath.split('/').slice(-1)[0];

        // Filter out hidden files
        if (fileName.startsWith('.')) return;

        // Copy file
        sf.file.copy({
            sourcePath: filePath,
            destinationPath: `${selectedPath}/${fileName}`
        });
    });

    log('All files copied.');
}

copyTemplateToSelectedFolder();

Hi @raphaelsepulveda,

Found this been using it in a little more universal way with

const destinationPath = sf.interaction.selectFolder().path;

I have an idea but can't quite get it to work wondering if you had the time to help.
I'd like the script to ask me once at the beginning of my soundflow session where this file is supposed to go and then every time after that send the following file (well usually a folder) to that same destination.

Here's my attempt at doing that with globalState ... but it's not working.

function copyFileToGlobalStateLocation() {
    // Get path of selected file
    const selectedPath = sf.ui.finder.firstSelectedPath;
    const selectedFileName = selectedPath.split('/').slice(-1)[0];
    globalState.pathName = destinationPath;
    
    // Set destination path here
    if (globalState.pathName === undefined) {
        var destinationPath = sf.interaction.selectFolder().path;
        log(globalState.pathName)

    } else {


        // Copy
        sf.file.copy({
            sourcePath: selectedPath,
            destinationPath: `${globalState.destinationPath}/${selectedFileName}`
        });

        log('File Copied!')
        log(globalState.pathName)
    }
};

copyFileToGlobalStateLocation();

Basically when I'm on the Mix Stage supervising I am constantly sending little adds and fixes to the Mixers and I'd like to automate dropping those fixes into their fix folders. Which obivously change from day to day, stage to stage, episode to episode.

Bonus of course would be some sort of control click to reset the destination folder...
