Hello Tiemo

from my experiences I can say that revcopyfolder is a blocking command.
If I have in a script:

revcopyfolder "myFolder","myCopyFolder"
answer the result

then the dialog pops up when the copy-process has ended

I'm on Windows 7, may be on Mac it is not blocking (Can't test that)

Best regards
Wolfgang

Hi Mark,
thanks for your quick answer, I will give it a try.

Because you have another approach I assume that it is a standard behavior
with rev commands, that they don't wait?
Up to know I presumed that every command is waiting up to it's end of
execution. Are there more commands, which are not waiting?

Thanks
Tiemo

Tiemo,

Here's a sample AppleScript.

try
        tell application "Finder"
                set myFile to POSIX file "~/desktop/file.txt"
                set myNewFile to POSIX file "~/desktop/file2.txt"
                copy myFile to myNewFile
        end tell
on error myErr number myNr
        set myScript to "answer error \"A problem occurred ("&  myErr&
")\""
        tell application "LiveCode 4.6.1" to do script myScript
end try

Hello,

I want to copy a big folder by script and wait for the result to prompt
an
appropriate message.

But after fireing revCopyFolder my script runs on without waiting for
the
execution of revCopyFolder.

Is this a normal behavior? Anything I can do to wait for the finish?

Thanks

Tiemo
