Im new to EventGhost, and am wondering if this is possible:
I want Eventghost to do 2 different actions.
If a folder is put in the 'watch' folder, I want it to get all the files inside the folder, and copy them to DirectoryA
If a file is put in the 'watch' folder, I want it to copy that file to DirectoryB.
Is this possible?

EventGhost Folder Automation
Re: EventGhost Folder Automation
I have done this with files using Directory Watcher along with a batch file that is executed and moves files when they are detected in that folder.
I did a quick search for "batch file to move folders" and it looks like that is possible too.
I'll post one of my batch files in a second when I get back to my PC.
Here is one of them.
\@ECHO OFF
move "M:\Video\Snapped\*.VPrj" "M:\Video\iPad Comskipped\VPrjS"
google search for...

Re: EventGhost Folder Automation
Firstly, id like it to copy.
Also, id like to automatically watch the folder, and whatever is new only move that folder, not the whole thing

Re: EventGhost Folder Automation
I'd suggest using robocopy to make a mirror of the folder. Run it periodically to keep the target folder up to date. (or run it from EG with directorywatcher events etc.)
