Is it possible to copy only new pdf and jpg files to another folder

[theneedfull]

So here's what I want to do and I was wondering if it is possible:

* "C:/documents" will get new/modified pdf and jpg files, in the root directory and subfolders. I want FFS to scan that folder every 30 minutes, and if it sees a new pdf/jpg, then copy it to d:/consume

* The files in d:/consume will then get deleted by another application. So FFS would essentially need to keep track of the files it has already copied on it's own as the files in the destination will only stay there for a little bit of time.

So I was wondering if this is possible.

I would try this:
Start with a two-way sync, which automatically checks the box to use a database file, and then set the categories on the right, Create/Update/Delete, to the action "do nothing".

I believe this should do what you want. This requires write access to both locations, but it sounds like that is already held. Run a couple small tests first, but this should do it unless I'm too groggy to realize lol

Thank you for pointing me to that. It looks like the "Update" setting configures that right side in exactly the way I wanted. That is perfect.

With that, I have 2 more questions:

* How do I configure the filter rules to only copy over pdf and jpg?
* How do I set this on a schedule to do it every x minutes? Manually having to do it regularly doesn't really help much for me.

1. Remove the '*' from the inclusion filter and add "*.pdf" and "*.pdf"
2. You will want to save the FFS configuration as a .ffs_batch configuration and set up a Task in Task Scheduler.
