Poll Watcher Settings
When you choose the poll watcher type, a Poll Watcher item appears in the column on
the left side of the window. Click Poll Watcher to access the poll settings.
The settings include the following items:
 Listing frequency: Enter a time, in seconds, at which the folder is watched.
 Listing multiple: Enter the number of times a file must be detected with the same
timestamp and file size before being considered a new file ready to be acted on. This
is to prevent processing a file that is still in the process of being copied.
 Wildcard Include Filter: You can use this to define the types of files that the watcher
monitors. The default filter is the asterisk (*), which is the wildcard indication. A single
asterisk indicates that all files are monitored. If you want the watcher to monitor only
JPEG and QuickTime movie files, you can replace the asterisk with two items: *.jpg and
*.mov (which indicate that all files with .jpg and .mov file extensions are monitored).
 Wildcard Exclude Filter: You can use this to define types of files that the watcher
should not monitor. For example, if the folder that the watcher is processing includes
PDF documents that you do not want to have monitored, you can enter *.pdf (which
indicates that all files with a .pdf extension are not monitored).
