Hi,
Last Sunday I upgrade to ventura 1.3 and since then I am in  big troubles. The function revcopyfile does not work anymore.
I have stack to manage files (over 8000 pdf files), which with  revcopyfile are getting corrupt. There are not anymore openable
using preview, but also pages dokument are getting lost or corrupt, because not anymore reopenable.

Some time a file placed in a folder is not anymore openable, moving it on the desktop, there is sometime against openable.

I pin down the problems on a script, where I do makes on regular basis a backup of  about 10 textfiles (Wrangler) and 20 stacks, 
so using revcopyfile and rename file to do it. The backup is not longer functioning, make no copies of the files anymore. Just one
old stack, which I don not use for year is copied.

So I can spend just now the time to go more deeper and investigate on the problem, since I have to be careful not to loose my 
documents which I will have to deliver within the next 5 days. But at first I couldn’t at a time open document, then I was able to
pin down thats was not the system but the function revcopyfile should be at the center of the problems. Possibly it has to do with
AppleScript (I hate this app, which was and is almost a copy of hypercard in a very bad manner) on which revcopyfile should work.

This is an alert, I will be able to go deeper finding the trouble by end of next week.
