Checking if a file has copied completly

[Dave]

Hi,

The file size *may* work but as you say it's not very robust. One  
thing I have noticed is that if you start to copy a big file (like  
a .mov) and then before it's complete, double-click it so that  
QuickTime Player is launched then you get a message saying the file  
is being used by Mac OS X. If there was a way to perform the same  
check that would probably do the trick.

All the Best
Dave
