Are you running this on OS X? This line:

  put the effective filename of this stack into source

will get the file path to the engine inside the OS X bundle, not the filepath to the bundle itself.

Your script is adding the ".rev" extension, but you are trying to copy an application which isn't a rev stack. You should leave that off, I think.

The "effective filename" of an OS X standalone stack will be something like this:

   /folder/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/myApp

The path you want to use with revCopyFile is like this:

  /folder/MyApp.app

So you need to parse the file path and remove everything after "/Contents". Then you use:

  revCopyFile "/folder/MyApp.app",destinationFolder

On Windows and Unix systems, I think your original script should work okay, except I'd still omit the ".rev" extension if you are really copying an executable.


No wonder, as the effective line 6  goes: "revcopy......." Even just
specifying .app as ending does not help.
I guess solution should have to do with app.path ?

Here is the relevant script-part:

 put the effective filename of this stack into source
    set itemdelimiter to "/"
    put last item of source into sourcename
    set itemdelimiter to ","
    put the backuppath of this stack into destination
    revcopyfile source, destination
    put destination & "/" & sourcename into oldpath
    put destination & "/" & "Diary" && phenodate &".rev" into newpath
    rename file oldpath to newpath
    put the backups of this stack into list
    if the number of lines of list > 3 then
        put line 1 of list into deletepath
        delete line 1 of list
    end if
    put return & newpath after list
    set the backups of this stack to list
    delete file deletepath
