File and Folder Watcher Description:

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. Monitored 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
* Monitor FTP sites and folders for new downloads
* Watch incoming folders for new files
* Automatically distil PDF files from an incoming folder
* Data mine incoming files with TextPipe Pro, also from DataMystic
* Process email attachments when they are saved to disk (with DetachPipe)
* Watch for new files to load 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
