Watch Folder Tab

Watch Folder Tab

In the Watch Folder tab you manage the permanent watch folders.

After a watch folder has been created nothing happens until a preset is attached to the watch folder. A preset chosen in the popup menu can be attached to one or multiple selected watch folders.
Once a preset has been attached processing starts after two seconds. Any movie files added to the watch folder are processed with the same delay.

Rename, delete or move in the Finder are detected and the watch folder list is updated accordingly.
Changes in movies files in a watch folder by another application are not detected.
If the watch folder is located on a network disk up to 5 seconds are added to the delay (because the folder is watched by polling it every five seconds).

Watch folders are identified by name and volume (disk) name. Make sure this combination is unique!
