Right. But I guess timeliness can never really be guaranteed for remote filesystems. > Returning to the start of this thread: if the context is imapfs > http://code.google.com/p/imapfs/ > then I might question the general abilities of IMAPs server to succeed > with all requirements in good time. > > For example: if/when > ._atira.png > is removed, does the underlying IMAP service allow the File Manager to > know this in good time? Depending on what constitutes good time, perhaps not. But this would also be the case for sshfs, webdav, smb, etc., right? And the message "not sufficient privileges" seems odd for what's really a timeout. > My guess: for as long as File Manager sees > ._atira.png > then Finder will consider that the copy has not completed. Well, everything (in the filesystem) runs in a single thread. So after unlink() is called the file is no longer there. Guaranteed. The duration of the unlink() call may be long, but the file will either be removed, or an error is returned. I'll spend some time looking at the references you included.
