Q&A 8: Delete old files without deleting folders in Limagitox File Mover
Q: I’m setting up a new rule to delete old files in a folder tree. Easy to filter for files of a certain age (10 days old), but I’m concerned that folders would end up being deleted too. Don’t see a way to tell the program not to touch the folders.
A: As default we do not not delete folders. Only when you tell us to delete empty folders so be sure to disable the red marked option.
Dir Filter Setup: be sure ‘Delete Empty Subdirectories’ is unchecked.

If you need help, please let us know.

Q&A 7: Can we test a rule before it actually runs in LimagitoX File Mover
Q: Is it possible to test a rule before it actually runs? To make sure filename, pattern match works and destination is accessible?
A: Let us explain you how we mostly test a rule. We have two methods.
First method:
Disable the Scan Timers in the schedule setup:
Set the ‘Max. Files processed in One Scan’ to 1 during tests:
This way only a single file is processed when you start the rule manually.

Second method:
Setup Source and Scan Timers as you normally do and add the following Pascal Script as Destination:
Begin psExitCode:= 1; // ... add your code here psLogWrite(1, '', psFilePath + psFileName); End.
Be sure to set function to ‘Copy’ because we don’t want to delete any files from the Source:
Open Logging Setup of this moving rule:
Enable history logging to save the received information from the Pascal Script in a log file. Let the rule run and check the content of this log file.

Q&A 6: I want to use user accounts in LimagitoX File Mover
Q: I’ve been using Limagito for several years and it works great. I just started experimenting with the web remove client, and I’m not seeing much in the way of security (user accounts) there. Is there any ways to set up an access list or usernames/passwords for people who can access the web remote client? It seems like anyone who has access to get to the URL on port 8077 can make changes. Please let me know what I’m missing.
A: Yes this is possible. You’ll need to enable our User ‘Accounts’ option.
Some FAQ:
– administrator user is always available (you can not delete this account)
– When you change a setting of a user, don’t forget to click <Save User> (before switching to another user).
– You can also use Domain User accounts. In this case no Password is required because the password is managed by the Domain.
– Select the rules the user account is allowed to access, you need to select at least on rule.
– Many options under Options 1 and 2 tab
