Hotfolder |
The
directory that the workflow will scan for incoming files.
Workflows support dynamic hotfolders. This means you can choose from
a limited set of variables which you can use to specify the hotfolder.
Using the "+" and "-" buttons you can add hotfolders
to a list. Each hotfolder in this list will be scanned for files and
the same workflow-script will be run on these files. Use this if you
have more than one hotfolder which requires exactly the same workflow-script.
|
Stabletimer |
Time
in seconds the file must be unchanged to be considered safe to process
or be "stable". Increase this value if you are processing
files over a slow network. Typically a value of "20" should
be fine in almost all cases. You
can also disable the file-timestamp-check. This might be useful
if there are time-differences which cause the file to remain stable
(if the file timestamp is "in the future" ascompared to
the system clock).
|
Allow
Locked Files |
When
checked, locked-files that would normally be registered as "not
stable" will now get processed. |
File
Sort Order |
The
sort-order defines in which order the files that are found in the
hotfolder are processed.
Oldest
First |
Oldest
files will be processed first. |
Newest
First |
Newest
files will be processed first. |
Smallest
First |
Files
with the smallest filesize will be processed first. |
Biggest
First |
Files
with the biggest filesize will be processed first. |
Filename
A-Z |
Files
are sorted in ascending order according to their filename (a,b,c,d...). |
Filename
Z-A |
Files
are sorted in descending order according to their filename (z,y,x,w...).
|
|
Include
Subdirectories |
When
checked, the workflow will also scan the subdirectories of the hotfolder. |
Directory
Trigger |
When
checked, the hotfolder-workflow will only scan for directories in
the specified hotfolder and ignore all files. This means that when
a directory is present in the hotfolder it will be seen by the workflow,
even though this directory might not contain any files. The full path
of this directory is contained withing the internal-variable <ScanPathFileName>. |
Include
Hidden Files |
When
checked, the workflow will also include hidden files. |
Single
File Handling |
When
checked, the daemon will process only one file of the current workflow
before continuing with the next workflow. When unchecked, all files
of the selected workflow will be processed in one run. Checking this
setting in all workflows will make sure all incoming files of all
workflows will be processed in a balanced manner. By default this
option is unchecked. |
Use
Archive-bit |
When
checked, the archive-bit of the files is used to determine if a file
should be processed.
Archive-bit
must be on |
When
this option is selected, only files where the archive-bit is
set will be processed.
Note: the daemon will automatically turn the archive-bit off
when the file is being processed. |
Archive-bit
must be off |
When
this option is selected, only files where the archive-bit is
off will be processed.
Note: the daemon will automatically turn the archive-bit on
when the file is being processed. |
|
Filter |
Filter
contains regular-expressions that will be applied to the filename
of all files that are found in the hotfolder. All filenames that match
any of these regular-expression will be processed. Default filter
is set to . which means all files will be included.
Note: values supports variables. |
Reject |
Reject
contains regular-expressions that will be applied to the filename
of all files that are found in the hotfolder. The "Reject Options"
will determine what happens to files that match the reject filter.
Note-1: the reject-filter overrules the standard "Filter".
Note-2: value supports variables. |
Reject
Options |
Skip |
All files
that match the "Reject" filter will be skipped. |
Delete |
All files
that match the "Reject" filter will be deleted. |
Move |
All files
that match the "Reject" filter will be moved to the
specified directory. |
