Hi Bruce,
The docs may be considered wrong in several ways, where Mac OS X is
concerned. RevDeleteFolder doesn't use AppleScript but the shell. It
uses the rm shell command, which deletes files and folders and
doesn't move them to the trash. To move a folder to the trash, you
might use the revMoveFolder command. The behaviour is the same on all
Mac OS X machines.
FYI, there is no revDeleteFile command, use the delete file command
instead. The revDeleteFolder and the delete folder commands to the
same thing. In my opinion, there is a bug, the issue being that
revDeleteFolder should actually move and not delete a folder. Maybe
the docs are actually correct saying that the revDeleteFolder command
behaves differently than it currently does.
If you want, you can repair this yourself by changing the
revDeleteFolder handler of button revCommon of stack revLibrary,
using some applescript syntax or simply the revMoveFolder command.
Best,
Mark

Hello group,
According to the docs, the revDeleteFolder command is supposed to
put the deleted folder in the Trash:
"On Mac OS and OS X systems, the revDeleteFolder command
places the folder in the Trash."
However, on my iMac Core 2 Duo, the folder simply disappears.
Nothing shows in the Trash. This is great for the application that
I am working on. The script creates a folder for downloading
individual pages of a patent. Those pages are then combined into a
single PDF files that is saved in the parent folder. Then the
script uses revDeleteFolder to get rid of the folder contaiing the
downloaded pages. For multiple patents, the user will not end up
with a Trash full of folders.
So I am wondering if anyone else has seen this. Also, is the
command working as descrbed in the docs on a PowerPC Mac, or are
the docs simply incorrect?
Regards,
Bruce Pokras
