I would like to pause the script before the image moving to see if that would
help. Can you tell me how to pause an AppleScript? Or how to detect if the
finder is ready to move files?
If possible, have the previous process which writes the file (and
which may be keeping the file busy in the process) write one level
deeper into another folder, say ".temp", moving the file up one level
to the target folder when the process is complete -- in so doing all
files at the level you're looking at should not be busy, ever.
As a general rule if all our processes did this, there would seldom
be the need to check whether the file is busy.
