>>>I want to set the locations (new positions) of the compacted item and the decompacted folder. But my code does not "wait until the decompact process is done": I do not know how to achieve that.
I would use a repeat loop, with a one-second delay, and check the size of the file. When the size stops changing you can assume the file has finished expanding.
Alternatively, you may use a repeat loop (without the delay) and check the busy status of the file. This solution doesn't work reliably if the expanding file is on a remote volume and/or the expand file application is running on another mac.
