There's really no need to get the Finder involved at all. You can instead try to coerce to an alias; it will only succeed if the file exists. So:
repeat try set newfileAlias to (POSIX file newfile) as alias exit repeat on error delay 0.5 end try end repeat -- do something with newfileAlias here
now I need to puzzle out why the file doesn't get copied by a later block.
Just because a file exists, doesn't mean it's been fully downloaded. |
