Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks because they are
related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These cor-
respond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
Folder Listing
Folder Listing input tasks list the files present in a selected folder and gives you the option to use filename masks, to sort files
by name or date, and to list the files present in the selected folder’s subfolders. The lists it generates are in XML format.
Input
Folder Listing captures nothing, however it does read the input folders (and, if selected, subfolders) and gathers information
about each file in that folder.
Processing
Folder Listing loops through the files and, for each file, generates an XMLnode with information about the file.
Output
The output is an XMLfile containing information about each file. If the Sub-directories option was checked, the structure of the
XMLalso contains the folder structure as it is present on the drive.
Here is a sample of the XMLthat is generated:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<files count="3" filemask="*.*">
<folder>C:\Samples\<file>
<filename>invoice.pdf</filename>
<path>C:\Samples\</path>
<time>2012/06/01 16:14:40</time>
<size>81452</size>
</file>
<file>
<filename>test1.pdf</filename>
<path>C:\Samples\</path>
<time>2013/01/17 09:13:50</time>
<size>20197</size>

<folder>C:\Samples\manuals\<file>

<time>1999/10/06 09:52:04</time>
<size>644037</size>
</file>
</folder>
</files>
Note that the <time> tag is independent of the OSlocale, language or settings. The format is always YYYY/MM/DD 23:59:59.
