Watched folder & library folder

Watched folder#Link to “Watched folder”

Under Settings → Incoming → “Watched folder” you choose a folder with “Set folder”. New audio files from it land in Incoming automatically.

• Checked at start-up and then every 15 seconds.
• Sonodex only picks up a file once it has finished copying.
• Unreadable files are not retried constantly; in large folders only new files count.
• There is one watched folder. You remove it again with the ✕.

Library folder#Link to “Library folder”

Optionally, you set a target folder under Settings → Incoming → “Library folder”. Tracks you send from Incoming to the library are moved there:

Library folder\Artist\Artist - Title.flac

Without a library folder, the files stay where they are. The pattern is fixed; you build your own structures, for example by genre or label, with File rules.

Interaction with file rules#Link to “Interaction with file rules”

If a library folder is set, it is used first. File rules only apply to files that are still in the rule's incoming folder afterwards. Moves by a file rule are not in the history: Sonodex does not undo them and makes no backup copy first.
