Way back in October, Eric, Ken and others helped out with identifying
special folders in XP and Vista, in which I could save shared and non
shared data. (Because the system I used in my app previously breaks
under Vista).
Having finally decided on appropriate locations and file structures,
I have started to script a routine which checks on the platform, then
checks in each location for the expected folders, and copies them
there if they are not present.
Debugging is a bit of a painful process on Windows, because I am
using Studio on Mac and testing under Parallels (XP). However, as
far as I can tell, RevCopyFolder doesn't work as advertised on XP.
In the Rev 2.0 language reference it states:
"The revCopyFolder command makes a copy of the entire folder,
including all files, subfolders, and their contents. The folder
remains in its original location and the copy is placed in the new
location."
I only get the top level (i.e foldertocopy) folder created in the
new location, with none of its contents, be they files or folders. I
look at the result for each instance of RevCopyFolder after each
partial successful copy, which gives me the numerical value '4'.
I know that RevCopyFolder seems to be very erratic on the Mac, but is
my problem on Win recognised by others? Is there an easy workaround?
Thanks
David Glasgow
