WatchDirectory

Monitors folders and starts a configured task for change detected.
watchDirectory monitors a folder, possibly including sub directories, and starts a task you have configured for every change detected. Changes include new, changed and deleted files or folders. When watchDirectory detects a change in the folder that is being monitored, it starts the task that has been defined. It is possible to choose from a list of more than 10 pre-defined tasks that enables most common business situations to be automated.

The list includes an all-purpose task that lets you run batch (.bat/.cmd) files or Visual Basic Scripts. These powerful programming files let you run thousands of programs and perform a nearly unlimited number of computer tasks.

• Automatically Sort Files: Copy your files to multiple locations.
• Automatically play a sound for new Files: NEW: Play a WAV sound when new files are detected.
• Automatically Email when files are created/deleted: Receive E-Mail notifications for new files.
• Automatically Delete Files: Tired of deleting temporary files yourself? Do you want certain files deleted when they are 7 days old?
• Automatically Upload (ftp) Files: Publish your files on the Web.
• Automatically create thumbnails for your pictures: Smaller pictures load faster on the Web.
