Watched folder functionality was previously already available via a Control module.
Projects that do not make use of Control can now enable it as an attribute of any folder in the Compositing/Resources tree.
The directory associated with the resource folder will be watched for changes and the resources will be updated to reflect those changes. The mechanism is hierarchical, i.e. subfolders introduced on disk will be added as folders in the resource tree.
Watch Directory for Changes
The “watch folder” mechanism is available for each folder in the resources tab. Thus it is not active by default.
To activate the “watch folder” mechanism, please checkbox “Watch Directory for Changes” - this activates the automatic scan and import of new resources.
Remove Resource if File is Deleted
Additionally, it is possible to remove resources from the library once the original file gets deleted in the watched folder by selecting this checkbox.
Auto Detect Image Sequence
This option enables the possibility, that PIXERA recognizes Image Sequences and automatically adds them as such. If this checkbox is unticked, PIXERA adds all frames of the picture sequence as single images.
PIXERA imports the picture sequence with the “default image sequence fps” which is adjustable in “Initial values”.
It is also possible to watch a folder in Control - for futher information please take a look at this article FileWatchfolder Module
