Hi Klaus,
Why not simple this...
on xCopyFile theFile,theNewFile
open file theFile for binary read
open file theNewFile for binary write
repeat until it is empty
read from file theFile for 10000
write it to file theNewFile
wait 0 millisecs with messages
end repeat
close file theFile
close file theNewFile
end xCopyFile
It is faster than you'd expect and you could add a progress bar. Of
course, you need to set the file type and creator and you might want
to copy the resource fork. All that isn't in this simple example.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

Hi all,
how can one copy large files WITHOUT blocking everything?
revCopyFile uses Applescrip which is blocking! At least in Rev, but
NOT when
using the same script with the AppleScriptEditor!? :-/
Using "shell" is also blocking!
"put url("binfile:"...)" is a no-no with > 1GB video files
Is there a way at all? Do I want too much again?
Regards
Klaus Major
