Temporary files, ignoring them???

Hello,

I'm using Hazel to watch the desktop for any m4v files that appear and then move them to the 'automatically add to iTunes' folder, so they are added to iTunes.

I'm using Subler to add the metadata and optimise the file when it does this it seems to change the extension to m4v, creates a temporary m4v file and then adds the metadata file to iTunes, Subler then creates the optimised file and adds that to iTunes also.

I can add an applescript delay of 40 seconds and this sorts it out. But when I have more than one file the delay is to short, I could change the delay to 80 seconds, but one day I could have a whole load more files.

Thanks for any help.

Where is the delay in this? Is Subler doing this on the desktop or in the add to iTunes folder? Also, is there a reason you are using that folder instead of Hazel's "Import into iTunes" action?
