copyFile() error

I have all several years in all my skins this code in finaly.bsh
 /*  Get the correct set of buttons: */
File source = new File(skinResDirectory.getParentFile(), buttonSet);
File dest = resDirectory;
//System.out.println("source: " +  source + " dest: " +   dest);
try {
      IO.copyFile(source, dest, true); // this is line 11
    } catch (IOException e) {};
to copy a number of button images to the res folder in the output folder.
But in jAlbum 21beta I get on my windows system sometimes, a crash:
se.datadosen.util.ScriptException: bsh.UtilEvalError: Attempt to resolve method: copyFile() on undefined variable or class name: IO in finally.bsh at line number 11
	at se.datadosen.util.ScriptException.of(ScriptException.java:59)
	at se.datadosen.jalbum.AlbumBean.processScript(AlbumBean.java:2569)

Most times the files are correctly copied by this code.

Any idea how to prevent this crash?

Ignore my previous reply.

I don't understand why you still use interpreted Java. A long time ago, I converted your interpreted code to Java classes. You thanked me for that (appreciated), but you have regressed to BeanShell interpreted Java. I don't understand why you did this. The Java compiler helps you. If you don't use it, you will spend a lot of time trying to identify errors that the Java compiler would have identified instantly.

You need to convert to compiled Java. If you don't understand how to do this, send me a private message and I will assist.

BTW When I say "Java compiler" I mean either the JDK compiler or the NetBeans compiler or the Eclipse compiler. They all serve the same purpose: debug your code before you test.

More information:

Look at Mirage's bsh files. They do not contain any Java code. Use this as a template.

Well on your advice I did add import se.datadosen.util.;* and I haven't seen the crash since that addition!

I did start converting it to compiled Java but I stuck. I am an old impatient man who like to see quick results and after all interpreted Java works still well.

With your help I certainly like to give it a second try, I will send your an email.

I have only a Windows 10 PC, so what do you recommend?

What about Java with Visual Studio code?

As a start I converted this FancyBox album into this Mirage album.

However most slides are for too large on my monitor, for instance click thumb 11 of 32. How do I get it displayed so that I see the whole picture? I used as slide image bounds 1920x1080

Edit: With Firefox the images are displayed as I expect, but with Edge and Chrome they are too large.

I investigated your bsh files. It would require too much effort to convert these to compiled Java. You would have to do a lot of regression testing and it would not make sense to spend so much time on a skin that is working.

So, I withdraw my suggestion to convert to compiled Java.

Correct, it took me weeks to get used to the user unfriendly NetBeans program, but with help from David, RobM and jGromit I finished today the conversion. The remaining part to do is the user panel for panoramic images.

I did not help, I still did it!
