Copy FORCE extract from archive doesn't force dirs

Help & Support

Hi there guys... is there an alternate method I'm missing, or is this a feature request?

I have a ZIP file I want to extract to a destination folder, overwriting whatever is there. I tried the Copy FORCE arg, and this effectively allows any FILES contained within the ZIP archive to overwrite any existing files of the same name without prompting, but any existing DIRS cause the Confirm Replace dialog to appear:


...doing a similar 'copy force' of a regular folders contents (as opposed to an archive) with sub-folders and files doesn't throw any similar confirmation dialog when it copies DIRS...

I think that dialog has been overlooked. FORCE and/or WHENEXISTS=replace should cause it not to be displayed.

Ah, thanks - but I hadn't even thought to try WHENEXISTS, so that's the sort of 'what am I missing' check I was looking for.

At any rate, nothing works so - submitted as JS#00222...
