Specify file download path with irev/revignitor

[stephen barncard]

not clear about your methodology on the download.. you might need to set
the defaultFolder

are use using RevBrowser in some way or is this a  LC client app on the
client and RevIgniter on the host?

anyway for detection of a folder on the client machine (from the docs)
if there is a folder [filepath] then go card ID 3445

The folderPath specifies the name and location <glossary/f/200.xml> of a
folder <dictionary/property/1981.xml> you want to check. If you specify a
name but not a location, LiveCode looks for the
folder<dictionary/property/1981.xml>in the
defaultFolder <dictionary/property/1981.xml>.


Delete works the same way:


delete file "My Test.rev"


the defaultFolder works for this command too. Errors should be in the
result - this deletes immediately, and file is not put into the trash.
