File appears suggestion

Hello Denis,
one option I really miss in your great program is watching for file presense. I often leave my PC overnight to complete downloads and I'd like my machine to turn off after specified file (files?) appear in specified directories. What do you think?

Hi bromden,

Thats a good idea! I'm thinking now of 2 options for a new Event:
1) Triger when specified file/files appear;
2) Triger when specified file reaches specified filesize.

Which one will be more use for you?
I'll implement it once I have some free time, might take a week or so..

Thank you for such a quick reaction.

:)

To me first option is more useful because I always know filename and I use "temporary folders" (ie. I use one folder for files in progress and another for completed DLs). But that's just my opinion

Thank's again! Waiting for the update.

Good news

Your suggestion has been implemented, i.e. trigger when specified file appears AND trigger when specified file reaches specified filesize! It has been added as a new event called File Size Limit. It works as both, when file appears and when specified file reaches specified filesize. For the first one, simply use 0 (zero) as the maximum filesize, because for none existing file the filesize is -1, and once the file is created, it's size will be detected as 0 bytes, thus triggering the event

Try it from here: ShutterBeta.zip
