Maarten, Whether using the shell blocks your interface depends on the size of your files. Copying one very big file is likely to be blocking, but copying many small files in a repeat loop should hardly interfere with user interaction.
I really think you should give all options a try and choose the best one. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.6 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce On 10 apr 2011, at 16:49, Maarten Koopmans wrote: > I'll try the command shell, I hope the command window doesn't show. > Blocking behavior is another fear ( why revCopyFile is unacceptable). > > Thanks for all the hints and advice everybody! > > --Maarten _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
