Default Folder Watch crawljob load order

Hello,

Is there a way for Folder Watch to load a folder full of crawljobs based on the order they were created, or the filename?

I have a folder where a stream of crawljobs would be created throughout the day. The order they are created in is important to me. Most of the time, my JDownloader is running, and is set to automatically download the links of any incoming crawljobs as they appear, one by one. But sometimes if my JDownloader isn't running, the crawljobs would accumulate, and when I launch JDownloader, it would load all the crawljobs, but not in the order they were added, which I want to avoid.

I'd be interested in any combination of settings that would fix that!

Thanks

@bdrifter: right now the order of the files loaded/processed is the order they are provided by your OS/filesystem. but more important please know that JDownloader does not guarantee any adding/crawling/processing order of links that you add. Link A B C can result in processing of B C A and order in lost as C A B.

any specific reason why the order is important? and what order is important? crawling? adding? downloading? and why? maybe you can explain your use case and we can find a solution to your problem then

@Jiaz: Hey thanks for the response,

I use the crawljobs to download image sequences in the order they are presented in, so their creation/modification dates naturally order them in my folders.

I use a python script to do this, and I've tried adding a sequence of links in a single crawljob, based on their order, but JDownloader doesn't seem to follow this order, so I separated each link into individual crawljob files instead, and generate them in 2 second intervals, that way at least when JDownloader is running, the links are added in order

I'd love to know some other way to do this

@bdrifter: As you use a python script to create your crawljob files I would recommend to use this approach, see
https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...ame-via-anchor
Your script can add additional information (eg numbering) or set the final filename in URL and with help of packagizer rule, JDownloader will then add your additional information to filename and/or use your preset final filename.

In case you need further help with this or got questions, just ask

As explained, there are no such guarantees.

Thanks for the explanation. I'll see if I can figure out a workaround then.
