In that particular case (Graphic converter/twain acquire), I don't
think there's a problem, Graphic converter waits for the twain
acquisition to end before the next command (save document).
I have a script (for faxing) and it works fine unless you use another
specific app to scan
Z
I've searched the archives and have not come across anything that
looks like the right solution for this... I'm scripting Graphic
Converter to acquire an image via twain, and I need my script to wait
for the scan to complete before trying to write the file. The delay
command won't work because it pauses the whole computer: when it ends,
Graphic Converter still isn't ready to accept more instructions and
the script dies.
Please send me your favorite strategy for waiting. Thanks!
Jason
