Funny, I went through this just a week ago. I found four reasons to abandon
revCopyFile for a shell command:
1. The sound.
2. It's slow.
3. For large numbers of commands it died on me.
4. It can't change the name of the file as part of the copy process.
I was trying to turn 1,700 files in one location into about 22,000 files
with different names in another location. I found that with revCopyFile and
renaming, it took several hours to do about 7,000 files and then died,
taking the Finder with it.
By changing to the command below, I ran the entire job with no sounds and
no problems in about fifteen minutes.
*on* shellCopyFile tSource,tTarget
*get* shell("cp" && quote & tSource & quote && quote & tTarget & quote)
*if* it is not empty *then*
*-- handle errors here*
*end* *if*
*end* shellCopyFile
