Copy effect failing

[jnealand]

This happened to me yesterday also.  After viewing the gallery and copying a number of effects (8 or 9) and generating vixen files the program quits copying.  It says it has copied but the script apparently fails.  Here is a picture showing effect 1918 copied.  I also got the error on 1915 and 1916.  I even logged off after 1916 and then logged back in, but still got the same error on 1918.  None of those effects made it to my library.  On a successful copy I see the results of a script.  I have even waited several minutes to see if the system was just busy, but I get no results.

Here is the messages generated by a good copy done an hour or more earlier

well another safety tip.

Here is how i get the name of the new effect in your library

Create the file name as YYYYMMDDHHMI
in other words i create a date stamp with Year Moth Day Hour Minute

If you click to copy more than once in a given minute, it will create a duplicate file name.

I have modified and released a new copy function.

Now the new effect name is YYYYMMDDHHMISS

I have added seconds to the name. Now you would need to try and copy twice in the same second to cause an issue.

thanks
