Hello
I'm new to AppleScript and so far so good.
However in copying a large number of files between volumes using the
Finder copy:
copy selection to disk "vol_name"
After awhile I get:
Finder got an error: AppleEvent timed out.
I have looked into Jon's Commands and his copyFile works fine. I could
write a progress bar to display activity, as the user wants a "Copy Dialog
window" to show progress. Finally I see the IdleLib however with it's
complexities.
Can I supply some type of timeout that is not dependent on a specific tick
range since copy time will vary?
Should I look into Applescript's idle handler?
TIA
Stoney
