Problems with revcopyfile

[Jim Ault]

>   revCopyFile "/Content/rubyonrails.pdf",filePath

The key is the Rev defaultfolder definition.
That is the starting point for the relative path you have.

On the Mac, the full file path starts above "/Content"
This would work on the Mac if your (Rev defaultfolder) contained a folder
Content/ which contained rubyonrails.pdf

/Users/loginName/Documents/hotParty.jpg


Try each of the following in the message box

put the defaultfolder  (mine shows "/Applications/Revolution 2.6.1")
if there is a file "Sample Icons/revapp.ico" then put "found"
if there is a file "/Sample Icons/revapp.ico" then put "found"

--note the leading slash--
Hope this helps you with paths cross-platform.
