Notify when a long transfer is complete
It would be nice to get a notification when a long transfer is complete. Growl preferred. CyberDuck does that.

Inappropriate?We'll think about it, but it's a much different case for us than CyberDuck.
Filesystems don't have an idea of "transfers" - we open handles, write some bytes, maybe a whole file, maybe not - then the handle closes. It's tough to gauge if a "long transfer" is taking place.
I agree totally it'd be a nice little thing to have, but it'd be tough to implement correctly in a non-annoying way. -
Inappropriate?Just a thought: how about a different copy command? Something like "lcp". Works the same as "cp" but uses growl to notify that the process is complete.

Inappropriate?I'm not familiar with such an lcp command. I just thought it would be a nice idea. Using it with ExpanDrive is a logical thing to do, but not limited to.
-
Inappropriate?Here's a simple implementation of "lcp" as a Bash script, assuming you have the command line tool "growlnotify" installed from the Growl distribution:
#!/bin/sh
cp $* && growlnotify -m "Copy complete"
This would work over ExpanDrive, or any other filesystem attached to your Mac! :)
I’m contented
