====== My first Watchfolder ======

  - Create a new Workflow
  - Insert a Monitors/Folder Processor
  - Configure the processor to watch in the desired directory
    - Make sure for the first try to place a "*" in the "Accepted files" textbox
    - Optionally configure the processor to "Forget Missing Files" so it does not remember processed filenames forever even when they are deleted from the Watchfolder
    - Save the Processor configuration
  - Save the Workflow (e.g. by hitting CTRL+S)

  - Rightclick the Workflow in the List on the Left and "Start" it. **__Note__** that Starting a workflow is only useful if you have any Watchfolder Processor in the WF. If there is no Watchfolder, starting the Workflow does not actually do anything.
   - Place a file into the watched folder (e.g. "c:\temp" in above's example
   - Open the Status Monitor  (Options-Status Monitor)
   - Latest after 30 seconds, you should see a new Job in your Status monitor
   - If this is the case, your Watchfolder works and you can go on connecting more Processors to the Monitor Folder Processor in your Workflow

====== Watchfolder controls ======

  - Rebuild History
    - Scans the watchfolder for all files and marks them as already processed. So existing files will not be processed.
  - Clear History
    - The opposite of Rebuild History: deletes the "Brain" of the watchfolder so all existing files (if any) will be reprocessed.
  - Forget missing files 
    - FFAStrans will synchronize the files history to the actual files. This enables you to remove an already processed file, wait a sleep cycle, and add the same file back again and it will be picked up.
