When Does the Hotfolder Execute

[kendoori]

I am intending on using this with Google Drive and PDFs. I have a script that downloads from Google Drive to a local folder and specified that as the hot folder. I have placed a test PDF in the Google side and can verify that has been transmitted to the local older I've specified as the hot folder. So far, that PDF has yet to show up as a note. How do I troubleshoot?

The import is triggerd by file events.
Witch OS do you use?
Is a hotfolder outside of Google Drive workin?
How big are the PDF?

• Linux Mint
• the hot folder works at a file system level
• PDF is 264.0 kB
  I tried removing the file at a local file system level and replacing it to get it to trigger, didn't work. Tried putting a random PDF in the local folder, also didn't work.

Hm, I think the dot in the path name is the problem.
I look at this during the next days more closely.

That fixed it.

Because the folder starts with a dot, it is assumed to be a file.
I excluded files that start with a dot to prevent the import of .ds_store an other files like this.
But since files can now be excluded in the GUI, I removed the hard coded exclude for all dot files.
