Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments) that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OK button, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
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.
