Hi Ian,

revCopyFile uses Applescrip which is blocking! At least in Rev,

using the same script with the AppleScriptEditor!? :-/
Using "shell" is also blocking!
This has come up a few times on the list, and basically revolves
around using a shell command that sends it's output to a text file
instead of back to Rev.
Rev carries on because as far as it's concerned the shell command
has finished, then you can do some kind of loop checking the output
text file, without blocking.

You might try something like:
get shell("mylongcommand > output.txt &")
That really sounded good, but did not work in the end :-/
My original blocking script:
get shell("ditto" && sourcefile && targetfile)
Now with this extra param the file "targetfile" will be the extra param,
which is extremely mentally challenging :-D
# For the "output" file:
put the tempname into tname
get shell("ditto" && sourcefile && targetfile && tname && "&")
Does work non-blocking, but contents of tname = targetfile
Then I tried this clever trick ;-):
...
get shell("ditto" && sourcefile && targetfile && targetfile && "&")
which is blocking again...?
Obviously this trick does not work for copy/ditto actions, or am I
overlooking something here?
