But, this creates challenges for a collaborative work group with many editors and writers... so, I am trying to create a drag and drop RCS (Revision Control System), which copies files to the local hard drive, increments a galley number in the file name, moves old galleys on the server to a back up folder etc... all very easy thanks to Rev... in fact we have a number of other applications running in Rev that we use every day that perform all these same operations in one for or another, but they are all raw ascii, xml, html files.... this is different...
the problem is
revCopyFile
is not behaving as documented on OS X... purportedly it should:
"... the revCopyFile command provides certain advantages. It copies file attributes (such as file type) and Mac OS resource forks along with the file. It also does not require reading the entire file into memory, so even extremely large files can be copied."
But, we are not seeing this. An InDesign file (or any file for that matter) copied from the server which has a visible ID2 icon in the finder, using:
revCopyFile (gRemotePath& gRemoteFile),fld "localfolder"
arrives on the local hard drive as nondescript, no icon and no application binding... looks like the resource fork is not making it across the copy... An attempt to boot the file by double-clicking in the finder invokes the OS user input dialog,:
"There is no specified application to open document "whatever document.ind"
[btns:] "Choose Application" "OK"
Presumably, since revCopyfile invokes onboard Applescript in the background, one might assume its not Rev's fault but AppleScript's fault.. but before digging into this any further I thought I might just ask here... This is pretty much a "show stopper" for the little RCS widget I am trying to create, which otherwise took about 30 minutes to put together and will be a dream machine for the team.
Retaining the application binding is mandatory and adding the ".ind" extension doesn't help...
Any thoughts? (including any thoughts on RCS if you have already "been there, done that.")
