The same problem here. I know it doesn't open any windrow. Ok. But it gets exit code 1 after daemon process run the bat. I still have no idea how to debug or log it

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....

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.

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

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.

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 the same old Log message again and again, every other second? I found the answer: I made the mistake to put File Watcher Utilities into a subfolder of the same directory its daemon was watching. So File Watcher was watching itself :D Problem solved. You may delete this Topic.

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...

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 tag with the...
