*** Waiting For Images ***
IMPORTANT: If the Hot Folder plugin is closed or minimized for 5 minutes then it will stop watching the folder. Keep it open while watching a folder.
POWER SAVING MODE: You may need to turn off the computer power saving mode or extend the time to prevent the computer from going to sleep while monitoring a hot folder.
USING PHOTOSHOP: You can use Photoshop while Hot Folder is waiting for images. However, if a new image arrives in the Hot Folder, all open images will be closed without saving and Hot Folder will start processing the new image.
Stop Hot Folder
* Existing Hot Folder Images *
The hot folder (source folder) already contains images. What do you want to do with the images that are already in the source folder?
Process Existing First - This will process the existing images first. Then Hot Folder will go into watch mode and process new images after running the existing images.
Process New Only - Hot folder will go directly into watch mode. Only new images that arrive into the folder will be processed.

The license key entered is already activated on the maximum number of computers. Activating this computer will clear ALL other current activations. Any other computers running with this license key will need to be reactivated.
For a multi-computer license, you may also first deactivate a specific computer before activating this computer. Doing this would avoid clearing all activations. That can be done under the Manage License button on the computer that needs to be deactivated.
