Delaying an action until a file is downloaded

[AndrewK]

Hi All

Looked and looked but can't find a solution.

Essentially, I want to move a file somewhere after it is completely downloaded.

If I create a rule to move say a dmg file or a music file from the download folder, that is fine if already downloaded. Some files will have the proper extension as it is being downloaded (not *.dmg.download if downloaded via safari) and Hazel tries to move that file over and over with an error!

So - how can you get Hazel to WAIT until it is completely downloaded?

Thanks

Andrew

What app is downloading the file? It ultimately is up to the app to indicate the file is busy or incomplete. For popular apps that do this, I can add support but for other apps, they need to use the common mechanisms (BSD file locking, for instance). Otherwise, you'll have to add a rule to not match until the date modified is after some period of time.
