Help Directory Watcher and eg.event.payload

[bskchaos]

Need some help to automatically process files when added to a directory.

Example:

Directory Watcher will monitor the shared folder C:\dir\
When someone drop a file (testfile.ext) a program should be executed with the following command line options:

program.exe -i c:\dir\testfile.ext -o c:\dir\output\testfile.ext

Processed files will be stored at c:\dir\output

Done, {eg.event.payload[0][16:]} did most of the trick.

Now users can drop a PDF file in a shared folder and get the decrypted version/log in the unlocked folder.

Code: Select all
