Feature Request: Schedule Watch folders

[dennishde]

Hi,

really love your solution. it would be awesome if you could add a feature to watch a folder just once a day like a scheduler - e.g. clean my Desktop every day 8:00 am.

Thanks!

Hi @dennishde

Thanks! That's an interesting idea. It's a bit outside the current use case, but I can definitely see how it could be useful.

Could you tell me a bit more about how you'd like it to work?

Would you like Watched Folders to work more like a scheduler, where you could set a frequency such as daily, weekly, etc., as well as a specific time?

Hi @lguichard and thanks for your answer. it is something I came from: https://www.lightpillar.com/spotless.html it is a very overloaded scheduling tool. maybe I don't understand the watch folder concept correctly - for me it should be a worker who cleans my desktop every day. for example on Mac I screenshot things every time and it gets messy throughout the day so in the next morning the files should be deleted automatically.

As you said - it would be nice for Forel to work as a scheduler where I can configure some intervals when it should run.
btw. is there a way to empty the trash folder?

thanks again!
