Directory Watcher launching Macro - EG with Ember Media Mgr

[kingoftowns]

I am currently trying to get event ghost to launch a program and run a switch whenever a new folder is added to a directory, independently they are working, meaning when a new folder is added eventghost is showing activity in the log and recognizing the new folder added, I am accomplishing this with the Directory Watch plugin, underneath that I have a macro setup so that when a new folder is added a program is launched and a process is run.

the problem is that after Directory Watch recognizes a change and is updated the Macro is not running, if I click on the Macro and execute it manually it works and does what I want it to but it is not being automatically launched by Directory Watcher. below is a link to some screenshots, on the left is the view of what I ave configured and on the right is the configuration for the macro.

what I am doing is using a program called couchpotato to download movies, rename them and then move them to the correct folder, I would like eventghost to monitor that folder and when a movie is added for another program, called Ember Media Manager, to run and scrape the new movie folder so it can download the artwork.

can anyone help me out in what I am doing wrong? again the 2 events work independently but I would like Directory Watcher to trigger the Macro and currently it is not.

In the screenshot you have the ember media start macro in your autostart folder. The items in this folder are only run when the program starts - they are not triggered by events. In order for the action to run when the directory watcher event is kicked off, you need to create a new folder at the root level and add a new macro. Put the ember media action in that folder as a new macro. Then, find the event from the log from the DirectoryWatcher and drag it to your new macro.

This links the event to the action, so whenever a new DirectoryWatcher event occurs, the action will run.

Make sense?

Ok I got it thanks. No matter what I did the directory watcher and the macro kept showing up in the same place however dragging the directory watcher updated event from the log to the macro made it work.

Thanks again for the help all is working properly. Much appreciated.
