Watch folder search depth?

Hello

First time poster. Congratulations on the new release! I'm trying to create a simple workflow and build from there. I hope it will watch a folder where Sony XAVC (FS7) camera card rushes will copied. I create a Watch Folder node watching the specified folder and what I would like to happen is when new complete/intact folder structures are copied in I want it to create H264 MP4 files out. I have added the 'Accept Files' string of *.mxf to ignore all other files in the folders (I have also tried without this string). For some reason though my jobs aren't triggering. I can get the workflow to work if I use the Submit Files option on the Watch Folder though. Does FFastrans Watch folders support searching in subfolders? I can't see any options to specify or restrict this.

Many thanks in advance

Joel

Hello Joel,
Welcome to the forum and thanks to use FFAStrans !
You just have to check "Recurse" in your monitor folder and all will be fine ;)
I remind you that you can speed up the picke up of files by set the sleep timer (right-click on the workflow, properties, sleep timer(default is 30"))

Cheers.

Benjamin
