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.

Regards,
