How File Juggler processes files
Your rules will process files when they are created or modified, usually within a few seconds.
File Juggler will not to process the same file twice, unless it has changed. If you need to process the same file again, you can open the rule and mark the file as pending. This can be relevant when testing your rule.
File Juggler is notified of changes to folders by Windows, and does not scan your folders at regular intervals, with the following exceptions:
- Whenever a rule starts or File Juggler starts, it will perform a full scan to catch up on changes that might have happened while it wasn't running.
- File Juggler will not receive notifications of changes on network locations, instead it will perform full scans a regular intervals.
- In some cases many rapid changes to a folder can cause a complete rescan.
File Juggler processes rules in the order they are listed in the interface (from v. 3.0 on). For example, you could create a rule that moves all word files from a folder, and a second rule that moves all files from same folder. You can be certain that the first rule has run before the second rule runs: The first rule will always move the word files before the second rule runs and moves the rest.
