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.
I think the OS sets the file flag as "busy" during a write (at least on
Macs, and I assume on Windows too.) So all you should need to do is try
opening the file and then check the result. If it's busy, you'll get the
appropriate error. Keep trying until the file opens.
You need to use the form "open file" rather than the URL syntax:
open file <filepath>
get the result
if it is empty then
-- whatever you need to do here
end if
Put that in a repeat loop or a repeating pending message that exits if
the result is empty, or times out after a specified amount of time.
