Copy PDF File to S: when created in D: Folder
#3
Thanks Tom, but I'm just lost on the logic.
Monthly I - Save As - a new PDF to a D:\Folder;

I don't know How to tell RI that WHEN a New PDF is Added to the D: Folder (via Save As) then Copy it to the Folder in S: per the Path entered.

You can't use ... Add: Task: Copy a unique File ... because you can't name a Path & File that doesn't exist until you do a - Save As -  in W10 Explorer.

So when I try - Copy a Folder -  from D to S with the Trigger being -- WHEN a - FILE CREATED (in the D folder)-  -- in Add: Action: Copy Folder ... the Source is the D: Folder path and Target is the S: Path.

My logic is the Trigger should be ... Status: File Created ...  (ie) when a new File is Created in D: Folder Copy it to the S Path (& I presume you must Copy the Entire Folder just to include the added File - WHICH causes a New issue: IF you keep - Overwrite - the entire Folder is Overwritten - IF you Un-chk Overwrite would all other Folder Files be doubled OR would Only the New File be added as IS the Preference?).

BUT, when I clk to the D: Folder for Trigger Path it Only Offers  - OPEN - so "when a new file is created in specified D: Folder" cannot Happen - and THERE is where I crash.

I need a " Insert Tab 1 into Slot A" type Help. Many Thanks IF you have the time.
