Re: DOCUMENT LIST : how do I know the documents are valid
Just an idea I set once on a project: check the size of the document. Until size is changing, consider that the copy/move is not finish and wait 1 second more. - Patrick EMANUEL Administrator www.association-qualisoft.eu (Soft1002, Simply Asso & QS_Toolbox) -- Sent from: http://4d.1045681.n5.nabble.com/4D-Tech-f1376241.html ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Re: DOCUMENT LIST : how do I know the documents are valid
try testing for a locked file.
something like this:
Repeat
on err call ("If_File_Locked_Return_True")
$Doc_Ref := Open document(New_Scan_Document_Path)
on err call("")
if (not(On_Err_call_File_Locked_Variable = true)) | ($Doc_Ref # †
00:00:00†)
close document($Doc_Ref)
File_Copy_Completed := move_file_Method
end if
until(On_Err_call_File_Locked_Variable = false) | (File_Copy_Completed
= true)

Re: DOCUMENT LIST : how do I know the documents are valid
Piotr, As alternative "hacky" solution you could try is to monitor the "modified at" at property and keep testing it every second or so until it's value no longer changes? There may be other possibilities too by inside using LEP but I'm not sure without further investigation.

DOCUMENT LIST : how do I know the documents are valid
Hi, We use DOCUMENT LIST and COPY DOCUMENT to handle scans The documents are copied by a scanner to a certain folder on a Windows server, where we are picking them up and process them It seems that because of slow copying the documents are picked up too early by us How can I ensure that the documents are totally copied by the scanner? COPY DOCUMENT to an temporary folder doesn’t seem to solve the problem Gr, Piotr ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
