2020.1

Note
When used as an Input task, the File Count task does not apply the process polling
interval. Once the condition is true, it triggers the process repeatedly, as if the polling
interval were 0.
To work around this, start the process with a Create File task followed by a File Count as
Condition task.
This issue only occurs in version 2020.1 and will be fixed in version 2020.2.
Processing
At run time, the number of files in the folder is compared to the specified value, using the
specified operator.
If the folder or file count value is invalid and the task is used as Input task, the process does not
run. If it is a Condition task, it returns False. No error is generated.
