Re: Monitoring local file transfers
This sounds like a viable approach. I've not done this before, but it sounds like it could work. Thanks.

Re: Monitoring local file transfers
Richard, You can put a file from one destination to another with: put C:/test.jpg into tPath put H:/test.jpg into tPath2 put URL(binfile: tPath) into URL(binfile: tPath2) If you're copying lots of files, then embedding these statements in a repeat loop with an incrementing progressbar should do the trick. You can get fancier with a 'send in time' which can also be interrupted as well. You also might want to check out the load command, though don't know if that works for local files.

Re: Monitoring local file transfers
Richard, thats a tricky one... why not set the default folder to the one in the destination and check the detailed files for the sizes and content?

Re: Monitoring local file transfers
Richard, What you could do is control the file transfer yourself with a repeat handler. Using the repeat handler, transfer only 100K of the file at a time, updating the status bar as needed.

I'd like to be able to inform a user of the status of an ongoing file transfer (through a progress bar), since the transfer could take 30-60 seconds or even longer. RevCopyFile appears to be a completing blocking operation. I believe this could be done with the put url command, but I can't figure out how to use the LibURLSetStatusCallBack command so that it will monitor this local (rather than Internet-based) file transfer. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
