   Note: GH REST version 2.0.1 and Graphic Hub version 3.0.1 are required.

4. Provide a valid GH username and password from the Graphic Hub you are connecting to.

To Add a Watchfolder

1. Open Import > Watchfolders.

2. Click Add watchfolder at the bottom left (1) to show the Add watchfolder dialog (2).

   

3. Select a watchfolder by clicking the browse icon (...) on the right side and choosing a folder. The folder list consists of folders on all local drives and correctly mounted network share drives.

   Note: For a network share drive to appear in the folder list, it needs to be mounted as the SYSTEM user, because the ImEx Agent service is running under the SYSTEM user.

   Alternatively, manually enter the absolute path of the folder.

4. Choose the length of the additional scan interval in minutes by either entering a value manually or increasing/decreasing it using the up/down arrow buttons.

5. Choose if files have their file extension (i.e. file type) appended to their name by checking/unchecking the Add file extension checkbox. (e.g. the files image1.jpg, image1.png and image2.bmp are imported as image1_jpg, image1_png and image2_bmp if the box is checked).

   Note: It is not advised to deactivate file extension adding as files with identical names overwrite each other on upload. Which of these persists depends on its position in the upload queue (i.e. the last one that gets uploaded is then the file on the Graphic Hub).

6. Select a destination directory from the drop-down menu by checking the directory. By checking multiple destination directories, images are imported to multiple destinations. More details regarding the destination directories is listed in the drop-down menu: Destination reads the absolute path of the destination directory on the specified Graphic Hub.

   

7. Click Add to add the watchfolder. The new watchfolder appears in the Watchfolders list:
