Wait for Finder Items
Description:This Automator action will wait for files or folders passed as input to finish writing to disk. This is done by monitoring the file size of each file or folder every few seconds until the file size remains constant. Once the files are finished writing, they will be passed as output to the next action in the workflow.This action can be useful when saving Automator workflows as Folder Action plug-ins, as Folder Actions often have a tendency to begin processing items before they are finished writing to the folder.
