Set "incomplete" (or equivalent) extended attribute with partial files

Description
On file systems where it is available, it would be EXTREMELY useful if GNOME-VFS set a flag to alert applications that the file is "incomplete".
Example, transferring 20 large videos to your desktop from a folder on a network. They come in in any order, and as the thumbnails appear on your desktop you have no idea at all which ones are actually complete and ready to watch. If there was a flag set, Nautilus could put an "incomplete" emblem on the files perhaps, and you would know what was going on.
Does gamin/inotify have the ability to detect changes to extended attributes?
