File and Folder Watcher

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
