Checking if a file has copied completly

[Ian Wood]

If it's on OS X, I'd suggest using a folder action and alerting your  
app via AppleScript - this shouldn't trigger until the file is fully  
copied.

Otherwise (and if building an AS dictionary is too much of a pain)  
I'm not really sure and was wondering myself. Maybe a loop which  
watches the file size until it's been constant for a long enough  
period? A bit unpredictable, though.
