Hello everybody,

Congratulation, is a nice piece of software you have here! :)

Tried to find the answer in the forum but didnt find anything sorry if already answer...

If i start a workflow from a CSV containing a link to a media or the name of the CSV im using is related to a media file existing on my network... is there a way to populate this media in the workflow and using the ffastrans processor with this <<media>> even if is isnt used to start the workflow..?

I'm using command executor and manually creating the command but im wondering if is there a other way?

thanks!

Hey Mic,
thank you for using ffastrans and welcome to the forum!
Check out https://www.ffastrans.com/wiki/doku.php ... _variables
You need to use a populate vars processor and set my favourite variable %s_source% to the full path that you parse from the csv.
Note that you can use %s_success% to display stuff in the job monitor - a method used for quickly investigate the current value of variables.
Have fun!
