Opening RAR files

Hi there,

I tried to create something in Hazel that will open downloaded RAR files and move them to the desktop. However, often it fails because it tries to open RAR files that are still in the process of downloading.

Does anyone know a way around this?

Kind Regards

What program is doing the downloading?

Safari. The problem occurs when the file is in parts. If part 2 happens to download first, it looks around for other parts that may not have yet completed.

In that case, you might need to add a condition like "Date modified is not in the last X minutes", adjusting the delay to account for the time it takes to download. You might be able to create a rule to wait until all parts are downloaded but the problem is you'd have to know how many parts there are ahead of time.

Okay, I'll try that. Thanks and kind regards.
