revCopyFile slow?

[Mark Schonewille]

Maarten,

Whether using the shell blocks your interface depends on the size of your files. Copying one very big file is likely to be blocking, but copying many small files in a repeat loop should hardly interfere with user interaction.

I really think you should give all options a try and choose the best one.
