The Add/Edit dialog is the place to set the information for each Watch
Item, new or old.
Nickname
This value is an arbitrary name that you give your
Watch Item to help you remember what it is watching. This will be used during
Watch Notifications to let you know which folder triggered the notification.
Browse for the File or Folder You'd Like to
Watch
Specify the full path of the folder you'd like to watch. To
browse for the folder on your hard drive, click the elipsis button at the
right-most end of the textbox.
By default, Always Watching!™ only watches the file you choose in
the "Folder" textbox. However, checking the Also Watch Subfolders
checkbox will cause Always Watching!™ to watch all the folders
within the folder you selected, as well.
Notification Options
Always
Watching! has four powerful options for notifying you of Watch
Notifications. Each has slightly different options.
Tray
The Always Watching!™ tray icon will blink
in the tray. Once you either double click on the tray icon or choose "Display
Tray Notifications" from the System Tray Menu, the
File Change Tray Notifications window appears displaying all of the pending
Watch Notifications.
Window
Always Watching!™ will display a
notification window for each Watch Item that is triggered. This window can be
set to automatically dismiss itself after a set amount of minutes by setting the
"Auto dismiss after x minutes" option to a value other than 0. When dismissing
the Watch Notification, you can choose to Continue watching the folder, Open
Folder, or to Disable the Watch from further notification until enabled by you
in the future.
NetSendThe Windows NetSend feature can be used on
systems with Windows NT 4.x, Windows 2000 or Windows XP running the Windows
Messenger Service. This feature is not available on Windows 9x systems.
Always Watching!™ will send a NetSend message to the computer of your
choosing. Simply enter the name or IP address of the computer on you wish to
have Watch Notifications sent to. To edit the "From Name" of your NetSends,
edit the NetSend From Name in the Options
Dialog.
EmailAlways Watching!™ is fully SMTP compliant
and can send Watch Notifications to any email address that you specify. Enter
the email address you'd like to have Watch Notifications sent to in the Email
text box. Before using this option, the SMTP options must first be set up in
the Options Dialog.
Watch Notification Delays
In some cases the folder you want to watch will trigger Watch
Notification more often that you'd perfer to be notified. The "Allow at least x
minutes between notifications" option will allow you to specify a set delay in
mintues that must pass between notification events. There is a five second
delay programmed into Always Watching!™ to avoid duplicate notifications
that sometimes can be triggered by the same event in Windows. To set a delay
greater than this, enter a non-zero value in this field.
Saving your options
Press the
Add/Save button when you have filled out the appropriate options to save
them.
