Sorry I should have been more specific.
I don't understand how "Lock files" can work if the app has to wait X
amount of time before knowing if the file will appear or not. That
just ruins the concept of a lock file, a lock file has no use if the
filesystem is not atomic.
So how can I get this "lock-file" type behaviour to work?
If the Mac file system works as it is appearing to work right now,
then this means that any Mac app which uses lock files will break.
