Description

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
