Question
DirectoryWatcher
+25- Supporter
Any possibility to run a workspace after a dedicated time of a DirectoryWatcher? Typically I do now want to run a workspace every time a user copies file to a directory (for instance when copying 100 files to a folder) - however I want the workspace to run when there have been "no activity" after a certain while - so I run the workspace after all, or multiple files have been copied.

Hi,
this might be a good task for the PythonCreator, if you can write a script that triggers the creation of a feature depending on your condition.
A few good examples on how to monitor a directory with Python here:
