file and folder watcher continuously watches a folder or group of folders for new files, and then triggers a custom action, such as running a second program with the new files. files are processed only when completely written – perfect for huge files such as video. incoming files can be grouped together or processed individually.
file and folder watcher can be used to:
* pre-process photo shoots with photoshop droplets as images are taken
* download data from ftp sites and folders
* watching incoming folders for new files
* automatically distil pdf files
* data mine incoming files with textpipe pro, also from datamystic
* process email attachments when they are saved to disk (with detachpipe)
* load new files into a database
* quickly and easily trigger business processes when files are created
* and much more.
file watcher can process only those files that match a filespec (e.g. ‘*.txt;*.html’) and ignore all other files that might arrive at the same time. it can also watch multiple folders at the same time (subfolders are handled with a checkbox).
file watcher can also prevent triggering new actions while an old action is still running.
it can also be run as a service to keep it running even after system restarts or possible server crashes
