File Modified Context Missing documentation.

[Rich D]

Hi João, 

Could you elaborate on exactly what the "Event" category is for in the Context - Event - File Modified ?  There is no mention of this in the help docs for that event.

Thanks,  Rich..

The event is just the event type you're monitoring :) For example, if you monitor for the ClosedWrite event you'll get that profile to trigger every time a file in the specified folder finishes being written.

Maybe I should add a brief explanation of what each event is in the help file?

Thank you for your contact.

My confusion comes from the the fact that when choosing a event context to monitor a file or folder there is currently 6 options.

File Attribute Changed

File Closed

File Deleted

File Modified 

File Moved

File Opened.

 It seems Only the 'File Modified' Event context has a a "Event" category where I can now choose 6 options

Create

Delete

Modify

Moved From

Moved To

Closed Write

Questions? -

1- If I want to trigger on a file deleted do I use the 'File Modified' Event with the Delete option or do I use the 'File Deleted' event Context ? Is there a Difference?

2- If I want to trigger on a File Modified, Do I need to select the "Modify" option within the File Modified Context or would that be the same as leaving the Event option blank?

I realize this most likely comes from adding the "Event" option and having backward compatibility. However it seems confusing. 

I am not sure of the best fix for this, However at the minimum a brief explanation of why there are confusing options and the correct choices for triggering on a given event in the help text and user guide would be very helpful...

Thanks,   Rich..

Forgot to add the Fact that the "Event" Category of the 'File Modified' Event Context is not mentioned in the help text adds more to the mystery.... :)

This still needs an answer, or proper documentation.
