l
Use archive attribute: Select to turn on the archive attribute of the data files found in the source
folder and to leave them in their original location (i.e. to take copies of the source files). Note that
PlanetPress Workflow never takes source files that have their archive attribute turned on (so the
source files will not be taken again and again). When this option is turned off, PlanetPress Work-
flow removes data files from the source location.
l
Capture files in subfolders: Select to capture files from child folders of the source folder as
well.
l
Sort directories first: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, and if you want
the folders present in the source folder to be sorted first, select this option. When this option is
selected, the chosen Sort order is applied to each separate folder, not across folders. The sub-
folders themselves are always processed in alphabetical order, regardless of the sort order.
l
Include hidden files: Select if you want any hidden folders or files present in the source folder to
be taken as well.
l
Include empty files: Select if you want any empty folders or files present in the source folder to
be taken as well.
