A fallback for when axivity_discover()/OMAPI device access isn't
working, but the device's USB mass-storage volume mounts and is
visible in Finder/diskutil regardless – a common split, since the
storage side and OMAPI's own IOKit-level device discovery are
independent paths (see NEWS.md for the discovery issues hit so
far). This bypasses OMAPI and device_id entirely: it's a plain file
copy, nothing more. axR doesn't parse .cwa contents – see
mrpheus or zeitR for that.
Arguments
- device_path
Character. Path to the mounted device volume, e.g.
"/Volumes/CWA17_46171". Find this in Finder, or withlist.files("/Volumes").- dest_dir
Character. Destination directory for downloaded files. Created (recursively) if it doesn't already exist.
- pattern
Character. Regex to filter which files are copied, matched case-insensitively. Default
"\\.cwa$".- overwrite
Logical. Overwrite existing files at the destination. Default
FALSE.
