I tried out Watchdog today and it works great. I did notice something during testing though that was driving me crazy until I figured out what was going on. I was testing watchdog on a folder that contains tv series. So the structure is episodes within a series folder. To test watchdog I was simply dragging a series folder in and out of the source folder. I had Watchdog set to "clean" when a file is removed/deleted.
Watchdog always detected when the series folder was added to the source folder, but it NEVER detected when the series was removed from the source folder, i.e. it never did a "clean". I thought the software was broken, until I tried removing the episode file inside the series folder - rather than the series itself - then watchdog did the clean.
So it seems to not detect the removal of series folders (but it does detect their addition).
Anyway, its a minor thing. Watchdog does what I want just fine, although it would be nice if the "clean" dialog could be gotten rid of...
Thank you!
