JoplinPortable 2.8.8 and HotFolder not working as expected
I'm using the Joplin 2.8.8 with the HotFolder plugin that is recommended on the repository. Just installed HotFolder plugin and it worked the first time, but now only works sometimes. There's clearly something amiss. I've restarted, changed folders, dropped in files, deleted cache/tmp and all manner of other tests. I have two Hotfolders in config, each with different paths.
When it worked, it would only add attachments to files and not put the actual text in the created note. I've used this in the past, but never had issues.
UPDATE - Tested again. Cleared all cache/tmp. Restarted. Changed path within Joplin for Hotfolder 1 in config, and it read in the files and added them as links to 'FILE.TXT', not actual texts. I did the same with HotFolder 2, but it would not detect and load any files in the folder. I changed to a new path within Joplin as I did with the previous folder, and it still did not detect and load files from this new folder.
- Which OS
- Which Plugin Version
- Could you post screenshots of your setting
Is there any error in the Joplin console Help > Toggel development tools when this happens? You can save the messages by right-clicking on a message and select save as.
