files in the queue. Once all the files are gone, the task polls the input folder again to see if new
files are present and, if so, the process continues with these files. Otherwise, the process ends.
Output
The output to this task is a series of individual files, one after the other. These files are not
modified in any way from when they are captured from the source folder.
Note
As with any task that can refer to network resources, it is important to understand the
considerations involved with paths and permissions of these resources. Please refer to
the Network Considerations page in the Advanced Configuration and Options chapter
(Reference Guide, in English only).
Warning
If you create a Folder Capture input task that takes any file it finds in the root folder of
one of your hard disks, then PlanetPress Workflow will try to remove all the files located
in that folder, including all the system and hidden files. So when using a Folder Capture,
be aware of where you are capturing.
