I needed a plugin which watches a directory looking for new images  
(e.g. as produced by a camera or other program) and quickly produced

Directory_Watcher/

Unfortunately, most ftp programs give the right names to files before  
they are finished being transfered, which results in attempts to load  
incomplete files.   Even if one makes the watcher wait a long time  
before looking, there's always the problem of hitting a transfer at  
the wrong moment.  Any ideas other than using rsync (which you can  
tell to use temp files)?
