I designed a folder action script to open any files downloaded to my
download folder since Chimera does not do this yet... It works well but
with just one minor setback. It tries to open the files before they are
finished downloading, and I can't figure out a way to make it wait
until the downloaded file is complete and them open it...
There was more or less a recent discussion about that. The point is
that only the app knows whether the file is finished downloading or
not. You can only guess. I don't know a better policy than checking
periodically the size of the file or, still easier, its modification
date.
But then, the folder action is not enough, you've got to sort of launch a task.
For instance, the free AppleScript editor Smile (I'm affiliated) can
handle such a task as waiting for a file to be complete in the
background.
