Then you probably want to check to see if any files in the folder are busy
by checking to see if the filetype of any file is "bzy ". If any file has
that file type, you can bet a copy is in progress, and the folder's contents
are incomplete.
I've only had this technique fall short on very slow machines where there is
a significant time delay between file writes.
