FileScanner Configuration Options
     
FileScanner List List of available FileScanners  
Add/Remove/Rename Use these to add, remove or rename FileScanners  
Scan Interval Every "scan-interval" seconds FST will scan the scan-directory for files. "Scan Interval" can be an interval in seconds or an absolute time.

Example:
Scan Interval = 10, scan ScanDirectory every 10 seconds
Scan Interval = 04:00, scan ScanDirectory once a day at 04:00 hour.

  
Stabletimer The scanned file must be unchanged for "stabletimer" seconds before the file is processed. Use this to make sure the file is complete before it is being processed by FST  
Description A description of the selected FileScanner  
Scan Directory Directory which must be scanned for incoming files  
Include Subdirectories If enabled, FST will also scan the subdirectories of "Scan Directory"  
Single File Handling If enabled, FST will only process one file at a time when scanning all the defined FileScanners. If a directory for example contains 10 files, one file will be processed after which FST will go check out the next input-directory. On the next run, the next file will be processed.
If disabled, all files will be processed in one run		  
Filter Input-filter. Use this to process only the files that match this filter. If the filename containes (anywhere) the filter you specified, the file will be processed. Separate multiple filters by a ;
Example: filter=txt;help
Meaning: All files containing "txt" or "help" (regardless if it's in the file's extension or not) will be processed		  
Reject Reject-filter. Same syntax as "Filter", but here the files that match will NOT be processed (rejected). Separate multiple filters by a ;  
Preset Local Variables to Startup-value of "Local Variables". Every time FST is started, the "Local Variables" are intialized with this value.  
Command Script Gives access to the "FileScan Command Script" window, in which you tell FST what to do when a file is found. A maximum of 50 command-lines can be programmed here. See CommandScript Reference for an explanation of all possible commands/variables.  

Local Constants

 Gives access to the "Define Local Constants" window, in which you can program a maximum of 10 constants, which you can use as LC1-LC10 in your CommandScript
