If the checkbox is selected, a task will only be started if a semaphore file is in the directory.

Semaphore file

The name of the semaphore file (in relation to the to be imported file) can be defined here. The following three place holders are available:
[filename] - File name with extension
[filename_without_ext] – File name without extension.
[file_extension] – File extension.

Search filter

•Define for which files a task should be initiated. You can use * and ? as place holders, whereas a star stand for multiple and a question mark for one optional character.

•Separate multiple entries with a semicolon.

•With no filter defined, a task will be initiated for every file created in the directory.

Define a minimum size above which a file will be imported.

Check for modification every n seconds
