Something I have wanted to ask for a while. When setting up a flow with a folder capture, I drop a file into the folder its listening too and it processes it. I then want to test the same file again, so I copy and overwrite the file to the same folder and the flow ignores the file. I have to delete the file from the folder and then copy the file to it again for the flow to process it. Why? Am I missing something?
With Workflow the folder capture processes the file after I overwrite it.
I am using Automate 0.9.15 but as you mentioned my “node-red-contrib-files-and-folders” was older (0.9.14). I thought that when you update Automate all the nodes get updated too if changed. Guess I was wrong. I had to manually update files and folders to 0.9.15 and now the Folder Capture works as intended when overwriting a file. Thanks!
Do I have to manually update all nodes or is there something I’m not doing right?
The Nodes shown in the palette whether they be from OL/Upland or third parties all need manual updates. I think it is desing that way so you don’t end-up forced on new node version with changes you disagree with.
