I've done a lot with lists of files and moving and renaming files and
folders.
I've run into no 'gotchas' other my my fat fingers making typos in my
code ;-)

Thanks Paul,
that's the way i was planning to do it. But i will move the original file into
a subfolder, so that the hot folder only contains new unprocessed files.
I was more looking to rule out any known problems that might occur when doing
this.

The only way I know to to that in LiveCode is by polling the folder at some
interval.
You get the detailed files (for the last modification date)
filter to PDFs
output them to pdf/1-1b's
Save this initial detail list of PDF files (in a variable or property or field)
Then send a message to yourself in x minutes
That message get the detailed files and compares the new list to the save list
Any new or updated file is sent to Ghostscript
Then the save list is updated
Send a message to myself in X minutes
That's pretty much it.

Hi,
before i reinvent the wheel...
Has anyone on the list already created a solution for monitoring a folder on
Windows (server) for new files and to do some action on that new files?
I need to create a tool that monitors a folder on Windows Server 2019 and if a
new pdf file is in the folder, the tool shall convert that pdf to pdf/a-1b with
Ghostscript in an destination folder and rename the original one.
Is there anything i should keep in mind? Are there any pitfalls?
Regards,
Matthias
