Ah, I missed that part. Whoops.
I wonder if there's some cleverness that can be accomplished here
with the new Spotlight I/O hooks? I note that the newly responsive
Finder in 10.4 will usually report a copied file at zero K when it
starts, then immediately updates the file size upon completion. That
implies an event of some kind to the Finder, which might be trappable?
Granted, if this were my project, I'd probably spend five minutes
fiddling with the clever route and then just go write a byte-size
polling solution.
Best,
Jeff
