[Feature Request] Recursive Folder Trigger

Is it possible to specify that you would like to know when there’s been a change in a folder AND any of its subfolders?

%TriggerValue% would then contain the specific folder.

I think “" is used for one level down and "**/” is used for any level down.

So this:
/Users/krafty/Documents/Clients/AAA/Builds/*
would be triggered by a change directly in:
/Users/krafty/Documents/Clients/AAA/Builds/Dev

and this:
/Users/krafty/Documents/Clients/AAA/Builds/**/*
would be triggered by a change in :
/Users/krafty/Documents/Clients/AAA/Builds/Dev/someChildFolder
or
/Users/krafty/Documents/Clients/AAA/Builds/Dev/someOtherChildFolder

Is this possible? Currently I just add child folders but it’s slowing me down.

It is not currently possible. A quick look at the code shows that how it currently works cannot do recursive directories, so it is not a straight forward improvement I’m afraid.

Any updates on that?

Nyet.

This is a macOS limitation, and it's highly disgusting.
