Ventura 1.3 - revcopyfile

[panagiotis m]

Hello Jean-Jacques,

This sounds like a permissions issue. Which version of LiveCode are you
using? IIRC, I think we fixed a similar issue in LC 9.6.8 - we added proper
permissions to the LC IDE and standalones to use AppleScript to control
other apps in recent MacOS versions.

If you still see the problem in LC 9.6.8+, I suggest you file a bug report (
https://quality.livecode.com) and include a simple sample stack which we
can use to reproduce the problem.

Kind regards,
Panos
