Tray Icon and/or Execute in Background

Yes. that´s what I was going also to suggest. But for instance, there is a FW Windows Service version too. Wich runs in background. You can use it for now.

File Watcher Windows Service Set and Not Working as expected

KingKong — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 04:09:30 -0000

Hi everyone.

I´ve all set File Watcher Windows Service. The XML was created basedo on window based File Watcher Windows Simple.

to sum up the scenario: I´ve created a .bat file wich is triggered when some .ZIP file is created on a folder, wich is on desktop directory.

**On Window Simple. All works fine as expected. **

So, I´ve taken the XML and XSD files from FW Simple and copied to FW Windows Service folder.

OK, started the service. OK.
Log says:

[17/01/2024 00:58:12] [Info] Application started.
[17/01/2024 00:58:12] [Info] Daemon 'Auto Unzip Marketplace Files' is starting.
[17/01/2024 00:58:12] [Info] Daemon 'Auto Unzip Marketplace Files' is started.

[17/01/2024 00:59:20] [Info] Process 24012 started by 'Auto Unzip Marketplace Files' daemon has exited with exit code 1.</supressed>

It apparently means that Daemon is calling the .bat file (before someone comments: it is also working if you run it mannualy or using FW Simple...) . The .bat file is RIGHT!
What I donna is to do from now on.

Filename in JSON format

Kevin Nugent — Tue, 14 Jul 2020 12:31:51 -0000

Hi,

I need to pass the filename to another program as a command line argument and the filename needs to be in JSON format i.e. backslashes need to be doubled or removed, otherwise JSON just sees them as escapes.

If I can just retrieve the filename rather than full path then it will work fine. Is there a way to just use the filename in the argument?

Thanks
Kevin

Tray Icon and/or Execute in Background

Rafael Féria Müzel — Wed, 06 May 2020 15:02:26 -0000

Please. Could you that write the code of File Watcher Simple, for the next version, put an option: Execute in Background (not being necessary the window of it to stay open on the screen), I mean, like Skype do, for example, where you can leave it on the tray and don't see any window not even minimized. It would be very good.

Log messages repeating?

Raphael — Wed, 01 Aug 2018 16:45:47 -0000

In File Watcher Simple I started a Daemon to watch a network directory, including subfolders. With running daemon I created a new file in that directory, which was logged within 1 second.

But why does it add this same old Log message again and again, every other second?

Individual SavePath for Logfiles and Option files & ....

Your "FWU" is really nice and helpful - but when this project isn't obsolete -> please add more usability to it.

Please make Configuration path available to set by the user
Please make Watcher logfile path available to set by the user
There's a poperty to log attribute changes -> so why not show in log file the changes exacly
Spend som "/t" to your log - so it will more readable
Each Watcher to each log
Each Watcher also to single output (Tab)
Place in Statusbar a counter for the events and for errors (which will not rested to "0" when the watcher is ended like in the Grid)
What about different cutures (languages)? Maybe it will be also an nice feature to switch between the languages and it will much more userfriendly

Thank you in advance and best Regards
Melanie

Can't get Create File regex working

Tim — Mon, 22 May 2017 19:10:43 -0000

I love this program and all the features. Thank you so much.
And I'm having a hard time getting the regular expression filter working.
I am using the File Watcher for Windows Service, not the FWS GUI. I am trying to catch files that get created and call another program to handle them. That all works fine. But the files that get create are MS Office files, which automatically create hidden auto-recovery files. These files all start with "~$". I filled in <createdRegularExpressionFilter> tag with the following regex: "^[a-zA-Z0-9].*"
That should catch every file that is created that begins with an alphanumeric character, thus ruling out the auto-recovery files. But it doesn't work. When I put that regex in with the surrounding quotes, it catches nothing. When I use the same regex without the qutoes, it catches everything (I might have that reversed, but you get the idea). I can't figure out how to have FWWS only pay attention to files that start with an alphanumeric char. Any thoughts?

Starting .bat script on new event.

I solved the problem by fixing %COMSPEC% environment variable. Some program (in my case PHP) attached it self to the end of variable which was causing problems executing batch file. System environment variable %COMSPEC% must only be %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe
