how can I wait for revCopyFolder execution?

Hello Tiemo

from my experiences I can say that revcopyfolder is a blocking command.
If I have in a script:

revcopyfolder "myFolder","myCopyFolder"
answer the result

then the dialog pops up when the copy-process has ended

I'm on Windows 7, may be on Mac it is not blocking (Can't test that)

Best regards
Wolfgang
