I recently purchased watchDirectory, and I find it extremely useful. One nagging issue...

I have set up a number of email notification tasks, and quite often, they send double notifications. By that I mean a task will literally send the same notification twice. The only difference between an initial message and its duplicate is the time stamp, (generated using the variable, $TM$). As you might expect, the second time will be a few seconds later than the first.

I'm just wondering if you've ever seen this before, and if it could be something I've got set wrongly. Thanks.

Thanks Gert. Oddly enough, I think I do understand. All the files in the monitored directory are PDF's written to the folder via Adobe InDesign's Export command. In the PDF Export settings I use, "View PDF After Export" is enabled, and at first I thought the file being written, opened, and closed might be the double-trigger. I experimented, and disabling the feature made no difference, but this was on the same track as your description of the file transaction happening "slowly."

I have set the delay at 15 seconds, and will let you know if it works.

I appreciate your quick response and thanks for an excellent product.

Great John,
