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
