Currently when I use the Directory Watch trigger (or any other watcher) to watch for modified files FME Server will watch on file size only. This means that even if my file has been updated, if the file size remains the same my Automation/Notification will not be triggered.

I'd like the watchers to watch the timestamp on files when available.

We have recently made improvements to the Directory Watch Trigger so that now when the timestamp changes it should trigger a MODIFY Event.

This is available for testing in the latest FME Server 2020.0 betas – please use build 20169 or newer.
