Work working on an in-house file manager - RCS for Indesign (since Adobe
did an "end of life" for Version Cue)
It's coming along well, in fact really well.
One challenge is that I'm using lots of these:
put ("mv " & quote & gLocalFilePath & quote &" "& quote &
(gLocalProjectPath& "/"& tShortFileName) & quote) into tShell
get shell (tShell)
put ("cp " & quote & (gLocalProjectPath& "/"& tShortFileName) &
quote &" "& quote & (gServerProjectPath& "/"& tShortFileName) & quote)
into tShell
get shell (tShell)
to more files around and rename them... it works great.
Is there a way to monitor a background shell process like this?
The problem is if you copy from the Big Server on the LAN... to my
Little MacBook Pro... you won't know when the file is completely copied
to the local hard drive before doing:
launch (gLocalProjectPath &"/" & pFileName) with the uInDesignPath
of this stack
Typically RunRev will issue the unix cp command and then immediately
launch inDesign, which "crokes" because the file is incomplete on the
local hard drive.
Now I have some ideas about how to do this: get the checksum some of the
remote file, do a send in 30 ticks (repeatedly) test of the local file
until the local file's checksum matches the remote file and then launch it.
But before I go after this, I was wondering if anyone had any other
method? Most "cool" would be a progress bar, but I'm not sure RunRev
can monitor a local unix copy file process....or, if it can, how to do it.
Thanks!
