Hi,

The file size *may* work but as you say it's not very robust. One thing I have noticed is that if you start to copy a big file (like a .mov) and then before it's complete, double-click it so that QuickTime Player is launched then you get a message saying the file is being used by Mac OS X. If there was a way to perform the same check that would probably do the trick.

All the Best

If it's on OS X, I'd suggest using a folder action and alerting your app via AppleScript - this shouldn't trigger until the file is fully copied.

Otherwise (and if building an AS dictionary is too much of a pain) I'm not really sure and was wondering myself. Maybe a loop which watches the file size until it's been constant for a long enough period? A bit unpredictable, though.

However if a file is dragged from another machine on the LAN (and it's Copied), the App sees the file as soon as it appears in the Folder and starts processing a partial file.

Is there anyway in RunRev to check if the file has been completely copied?
