XMiL Copier

This application simply copies files from one folder to another. It watches for new files to appear in a folder and copies them to another folder once they are complete. This is useful for over-night exports of big files that you need in two different locations when you come in the next morning.

What exactly XMiL Copier does:

On an on-going basis XMiL Copier compares the contents of two folders. Those folders are the Origin folder and the Destination folder, both can be selected by the user. If a file in the Origin folder is ready to be copied, XMiL Copier will cause the file to be copied on the Finder level. A file is considered to be ready if

- it has kept the same size for at least 4 seconds. This ensures the file is complete and finished.
- there is no file with the same name in the destination folder.

When both these criteria are met XMiL Copier will check if any other copy process is currently under way. If that is so, it will wait for those copies to be completed. This applies to Finder copies initiated by the user or by XMiL Copier itself. Once nothing else is currently copying the application prompts the Finder to copy the file.

XMiL Copier only looks at one folder as the Origin. Any subfolders in that folder will be ignored, only files will be copied.
