File and Folder Watcher

File and Folder Watcher is an excellent software for those who want to continuously monitor a folder or a group of folders for new files. It triggers custom actions, such as running a second program with the new files, and is a great tool for processing large files, such as videos. Incoming files can be grouped together or processed individually, giving you complete control over the workflow.

Whether you're a photographer who needs to pre-process photo shoots with Photoshop Droplets as images are taken, or you regularly download data from FTP sites and folders, File and Folder Watcher can help you automate the process. It's also a fantastic option for businesses that need to quickly and easily trigger business processes when files are created.

File Watcher can process only those files that match a specific file type, such as '*.txt;*.html,' and ignore all other files that might arrive at the same time. With multiple folders to watch at the same time, subfolders are handled with a checkbox, and File Watcher can also prevent triggering new actions while an old action is still running.

One of the best features of File and Folder Watcher is that it can be run as a service to keep it running even after system restarts or possible server crashes. So, whether you need to distil PDF files, data mine incoming files with TextPipe Pro, or process email attachments when they are saved to disk (with DetachPipe), File and Folder Watcher is the go-to software for all your file monitoring needs.
