Re: revCopyFile broken on OS X?

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

Brian, Thanks!

"ditto" works perfectly.

 Resource fork is maintained. File is copied with creator type etc all 
intact and boots into the right application.

Two caveats which I would like to understand, just for my training on 
shell usage:

a) I could not get this to work:

 get shell ("ditto -rsrcFork "&quote 
&(gRemotePath&gRemoteFile)&quote&&quote& fld "localfolder"&quote)

instead I had to do this:

put ("ditto -rsrcFork "&quote &(gRemotePath&gRemoteFile)&quote&&quote& 
fld "localfolder"&quote) into tCommand

get shell (tCommand)

why?

b) use of "get" why is it needed? is it because this is a function and  
not a command?

Thanks, this list is such a great resource...

Aloha from Kauai

I can't speak to revCopyFile, but on OS X there is a shell command for 
copying files with resource fork intact. If that's not what 
revCopyFile is using, you could try it:

get shell("ditto -rsrcFork 
"&quote&sourcePath&quote&&quote&destPath&quote)

You might try it out first in Terminal.app if you haven't used shell() 
before. For more information about ditto, type "man ditto" into 
Terminal.app.

If that's what revCopyFile uses already, maybe it's a remote volume / 
server problem?
