Directory watcher only triggers if a certain file extension

[z3us]

Hi
I┬┤m using directory watcher to trigger an event, but I want this only to happen with a certain file extension (.png). Any help?
Thanks!

PngFilter.png (4.69 KiB) Viewed 2295 times

Python Script content:

Code: Select all

from os.path import splitext
pld = eg.event.payload
fl = pld[0]
ext = splitext(fl)[1].lower()
if ext == '.png':
    eg.TriggerEvent("%s.%s" % (eg.event.suffix, "Png"), prefix=eg.event.prefix, payload = pld)

It didn┬┤t work for me, the event is not filtered by extension.
Am I supposed to edit something in the script? I┬┤m sorry, but my python knwoledge is null

There is no need to edit anything.
If the file type is .png, so in this case, a new event will be triggered.
Actions that need to do you have to put in another macro and assign new event to this macro.
Is that clear now?

Yes, it┬┤s clear now, thanks
But no event is triggered

Yes, it┬┤s clear now, thanks

On the contrary, I see that you do not understand.
The Python Script should not be placed below the DirectoryWatcher.Created.Png event, but below the DirectoryWatcher.Created event.
Below the DirectoryWatcher.Created.Png event has to be placed something else (but I do not know what you do you intend to do with the file).
