there is a tiny bug in the "revlibrary.rev", script of button "revCommon"

....
on revCopyFile pSrcFile, pDestFile
   if the platform is "MacOS" then
     if "applescript" is in the alternateLanguages then
       do revAppleScriptFull(copyFile,pSrcFile,pDestFile) as applescript
     else return "Error: AppleScript not installed"
   else if the platform is "Win32" then
     revSetWindowsShellCommand
     set the itemDel to "/"
   ####   put item -1 of pSrcFile into tFileName
   ####  not necessary, see below

     set the itemDel to comma
  ####  get shell ("copy" && 
revWindowsFromUnixPath(quote&pSrcFile&quote) && 
revWindowsFromUnixPath(quote&pDestFile&"\"&tFileName&quote))
  #### wont work, does not even give an error
  #### 1 concenating too much... ;-)
  ####pDestFile contains the complete path to the destination-file 
including the filename.

  get shell ("copy" && revWindowsFromUnixPath(quote&pSrcFile&quote) && 
revWindowsFromUnixPath(quote&pDestFile&quote))
#### this works

   else
     get shell ("cp -f" && quote&pSrcFile&quote && quote&pDestFile&quote)
   end if
   return the result
end revCopyFile


Hope this helps.

You can fix it by yourself, if you have a license.

But i am sure this will be fixed by the RR-team very quick.
Right, Kevin ?
