Q: Change Notify Isn’t Picking Up all files. When using Change Notify we are running into an issue where 1 file is not being moved until other files are added. Here is example:
- 10 files are added to a folder within 1 second
- 9 files are moved to the correct destination but 1 file doesn’t move
- 20 minutes pass and the same file still remain in the folder
- 21 minutes pass we get 10 more files placed in the folder
- The 1 file that didn’t move prior will now move to correct folder along with 9 of the 10 new files added, leaving 1 file again
Pattern repeats like this always leaving 1 file in the source folder that will not move until another batch of files arrive.
Here is our Schedule/notify settings:
Are we setting something wrong?
A: Probably not, it seems the last file you are adding to the Source folder was not fully there and we tried to move it. Because ‘Exclude Files In Use’ was enabled we didn’t touch this file. In version v2026.7.26.0 we added an extra option: ‘Retry Check if In Use’. Enabling this extra option should fix your issue when ‘Exclude Files In Use’ is enabled together with Change Notify as trigger.
In version v2026.8.6.0. retry times is now adjustable, time between retries is one second.
If you need any help about this ‘Change Notify Isn’t Picking Up’ question, please let us know.
