Watchtowe: Prevent subfolders from Importing

kidxvintage

Hi! New to the world of Watchtower and had a quick question.

I use a YouTube downloader called Downie that while downloading the mp4 creates these temporary files/folders that automatically delete when the download is finished. When I have auto-sync on, these import into premiere as well. Is there a way to prevent this?

I was able to prevent the temp file from importing since it has an extension but now I just need the temp folder to not import. Thanks!

kidxvintage you can do one of those:

disable "SUB" checkbox for folder where you download files (so all subfolders will be ignored)
create regex filter for Downie folder in Ignored Folders:

Looks like last link even has Downie example, just add this to filter:
/\.downiepart$/
