As a family historian, I recognize that even the most casual snapshot has some intrinsic value but who has the time to sort through that many pictures to find the 10 or 20 in a given category that is worth showing off? And what’s the best way to ensure that these best-of-the-best photos not only appear on all my mobile devices, but in places and on services that allow interested friends and family to see them, too? None of them, however, are so terrible that I’d want to obliterate them. I’d wager that 95 percent of them are junk-poorly composed, badly lit, over-or underexposed, people with their eyes closed, you name it. I shot most of them others I scanned from prints gleaned from photo albums and family archives. The extension is kept.I’ve amassed more than 30,000 digital photos over the years. The path is therefore different, but the name is also different if another file with the same name already exists in the directory. This is the filename after it has been moved to the historization directory. The Process file nonexistence option lets you finish the iteration. In this case, the files will be processed in alphabetical order. To process a set of files sequentially, use the Stop as soon as a file has been processed option and create a loop.
The file processing order cannot be determined.
Refer to the File historization step here: Web download. This option does not process errors related to activity configuration, i.e. In this case, the workflow does not change to error status, and continues executionĮrrors taken into account are file system errors (file could not be moved, directory could not be accessed, etc.). This option makes a special transition appear, to be activated if an error is generated. If the task is not scheduled, this transition will be activated once only. This option initiates a special transition each time no file matching the filter is found in the specified directory. The file taken into account is the first in the list in alphabetical order.įor an unscheduled activity, if no file matching the filter is found in the specified directory, and if the Process file nonexistence option is not enabled, an error will be raised.ĭetermines the frequency of the file presence check via the parameters of the Schedule tab. This option guarantees that only one event will be sent. If several files corresponding to the filter are present in the directory, only one will be taken into account. If this option is enabled, the task ends after reception of the first file. Stop as soon as a file has been processed If the filter is empty, all files in the directory are taken into account. The other files in the directory are ignored. Only files matching this filter are taken into account. This directory must be created beforehand on the server: if it does not exist, an error will be raised. The other tabs are detailed in Inbound Emails ( Schedule and Expiry tabs).ĭirectory containing the file(s) to be downloaded. The first tab of the File collector activity lets you select the source directory and, if necessary, filter the collected files. If several wfserver modules are deployed on a single instance, either the affinity of the activities using these files or the overall affinity of the workflow must be specified. The files must be on the server on which the wfserver module in charge of this workflow is executed. The collected files are moved to another directory for archiving purposes and to make sure they are only counted once.īy default, the file collector is a persistent task that tests the presence of files at the times specified by the schedule.
For each event, a filename variable contains the full name of the file received. The File collector monitors the arrival of one or more files in a directory and activates its transition for each file received.
