Folder Monitoring?

I'd like to see an option for automatic folder monitoring in PVD, perhaps combined with Silent Mode.

There is an option to start File Scanner every time PVD starts. Is it not enough? What exactly do you have in mid?

I was thinking of triggering the file scan, say, every N seconds. Where you could configure "N".

This would go quite nicely together with the JRiver MC PvdImport plugin.

You can write a general purpose plugin (like twitter plugin) for this task.

Getting things up and running is already quite complex (3 applications need to be installed including an sql server).

Once you've written it, it won't be any more complex for the rest of us. ;D

Yeah, well, as you understand from the JRiver forums, I'm kinda busy with other things nowadays. I'm also in the process of moving/changing jobs, so I simply don't have time.
