Monitored Folders

Overview

A monitored folder is a vault folder that Folderer watches for file events. Each monitored folder has its own list of rules that are evaluated independently when a matching event occurs inside that folder.

Only the direct monitored path is watched — files in subfolders are included as long as their path starts with the monitored folder path.

Adding a Folder

1. Open Settings → Folderer
2. Click the add-folder button
3. Enter the vault-relative path (e.g. Literature or Projects/Active)
4. Press Enter or click Confirm

The new folder section appears immediately in the settings panel with an empty rules list.

Removing a Folder

Each folder section has a delete button (trash icon) in its header. Clicking it removes the folder and all of its rules permanently.

Folder Scoping

Rules are scoped to the folder they belong to. If you have two monitored folders — Literature and Projects — their rules are completely independent:

• A file arriving in Literature only triggers rules in the Literature section
• A file arriving in Projects only triggers rules in the Projects section

This lets you apply different automation to different areas of your vault without any rule bleeding between them.

Multiple Folders

You can add as many monitored folders as you like. Each folder is displayed as a collapsible section in the settings panel. Rules inside each section can be reordered independently.
