We are currently using the following script to watch a Source Folder and move files into other folders. One problem that we are having is that when the files are being copied into the source folder, the script will try and grab the file before it is completely copied. Is there other ways to write the Applescript to watch for a file to make sure the file is completely copied before moving or is there another solution that would work better than Applescript? The files that we are watching are PDF files. Any suggestions, thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!

Probably not a solution for you, but in case the information is of any interest, the "filecopy" command of Satimage-software's "Files.osax" scripting addition (distributed on demand only) is synchronous so a solution using Files.osax would be:


filecopy srcFile into dstFolder
