I'm trying to use revcopyfile to copy an application from a folder on my
disk drive to a mounted disk image (OS X). Keep getting "Execution error"
from revCopyFile which really isn't very helpful.
When copying an application file, should the file name be "myApp" or
"myApp.app"? Or should I be using revCopyFolder?
Use revCopyFile and include the ".app" at the end. Provide the full
path, the one you'd get back after an "answer file" dialog.
What is the correct path to the mounted disk image? I'm using
"/Volumes/myImage.sparseimage", also tried specialFolderpath("Home")&
"/Volumes/myImage.sparseimage" ( which I'm pretty sure isn't right).
It should start with "/Volumes/". To see if you have the path right try
this in the message box: there is a folder "/Volumes/myImage". I assume
the disk image is mounted already, right? If so, I don't think the
".sparseimage" should be in the path because a mounted volume doesn't
use that.
Lack of a clear error message from revCopyFile is making it hard to figure
out exactly what I'm doing wrong.
Is the vague error the only thing you get in the result? As far as I
know, checking the result is the only way to get any info. If any of the
paths are wrong you should get an error about not being able to open the
file, or no such folder (or something similar; can't recall offhand
exactly what it says.)
