This is an old revision of the document!
My first Watchfolder
- Create a new Workflow
- Insert a Monitors/Folder Processor
- Configure the processor to watch in the desired directory
- 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
- 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
Watchfolder controls
- Rebuild History
- Scans the watchfolder for all files and marks them as already processed. So existing files will not be processed.
- Forget History
- The opposite of Rebuild History: deletes the “Brain” of the watchfolder so all existing files (if any) will be reprocessed.
