Hi,
I had some trouble using revCopyFolder, maybe it is related.
Looking for a method to move/duplicate folders on MacOS I tried using
revCopyFolder.
The internal LC appleScript seems to use 'copy folder' in LC9.6.8
On MacOS 12.6.3 that does not work for me.
'duplicate folder' does.
Not sure since when or what version this changed.
Maybe it's the same for revCopyFile
Applescript from LiveCode works pretty well for me, most of the time.
Moving and duplicating folders in the Finder by applescript from LC is slow.
Adding 'ignoring application responses' get's the beachball away, but also all
the results and errors.
Maybe somebody has a different workaround?
My script for 'do ... as applescript' looks something like this:
set sourcePath to "/Users/.../...."
set destinationPath to "/Users/.../...."
tell application "Finder"
ignoring application responses
set theSource to sourcePath as POSIX file
set theDestination to destinationPath as POSIX file
duplicate folder theSource to folder theDestination
end ignoring
end tell
The script works like expected, but getting the results and errors would be
helpfull.
regards,
Chris Hiedecker
