Through the years I have learned to “untether” LC before such operations.
There are several scenarios: Set the defaultFolder to empty (if you are logged into files on a volume over the LAN) set the filename of image to empty (if you are showing and image on a remote volume) set the filename of the player to empty that sort of thing.. *then* touch your files on disk — or save or quit or whatever that might be prevented by the “anchor” to some file or folder in the LC app. On 10/13/15, 4:23 AM, "use-livecode on behalf of Martin Koob" <[email protected] on behalf of [email protected]> wrote: >In my application I can movie a folder to the trash that has movie file in >it that my application created by using an applescript with applescript's >delete command. >(*I use an applescript to delete it so the file and its contents are moved >to trash, I tried revDeleteFolder but it just moves the folder to trash and >its contents are permanently deleted.) > >This works when the folder and file are on the local hard disk. > >On an shared volume I get an error, "The operation can’t be completed >because the item “Test.mov” is in use." > >The movie had been opened in the player in the application but the player >URL had been changed to a different movie before trying to delete the folder >with the file in it. > >So the finder still seems to think my LiveCode app is using the movie file. >Is there a way to have my application unload the movie so the finder will >allow me to delete the folder containing it? > >Martin > _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
