File Count
File Count tasks check if a target folder contains a specified number of files. They can be used
as Condition task or as Input task.
When used as Input task, the task triggers the process to run only when the condition is true. As
long as the condition is false, it does nothing (except log any errors).
Setting the file count to 0 allows to take action, for example, when a scheduled process is
expected to have files but it doesn't.
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.
