You'd think this would do it:

Code: [Select]
COPY_EXISTING ~foo.bar~ ~override/foo.bat~

Question:  Doesn't COPY_EXISTING already do this?

To detect if an ambient is in a compressed BIF and need to be extracted to \override\ (and/or biffed later) to be used in a mod. It'll be a CTD otherwise....
BMs extract such ambients by default right now, but such actions make many duplicating copies. It's not a big deal if you have 100Gb of free space, but it would be nice to have some tools to minimize a size of the final installation too....  ;)

So, you're sayind that it's non-trivial task? But you still can detect if for --biff-get to extract properly. Is it difficult to introduce the same detection for a script?
I just needed a valid reason to code this, and CTDs count as valid  :D

will do once at home.

I cannot detect (trivially at least) if a file is in a compressed bif  :(

what would be the point, though?

ACTION_IF FILE_IS_IN_COMPRESSED_BIFF ~AM1000.WAV~ THEN BEGIN

  COPY_EXISTING ~AM1000.WAV~ ~override~

END

It could be very useful...sometimes.  8)
