Hi all, I've written a folder action script to alert me when items have been added to my Downloads folder. The thing is, the action only gets triggered about 3 seconds after adding items to the folder. Apparently, this is because either the "files received" or "files added" actions watch for changes in file size, and if no changes have been made in 3 seconds, the file is considered completely added, causing the desired folder action to occur.According to the article I read, this was done in Snow Leopard to prevent folder actions processing files before they are copied completely.
So my question is, can this 3 second delay be changed at all? All I want to do when items are added to my Downloads folder is have a sound play and VoiceOver speak a message.
