Directory Configuration

To configure directory paths for the application, use the pathsConfig.json file. Make sure this file stays within the same directory as CAQDH.exe.

Paths

pathsConfig.json is in the format of a list containing sets of input, output, archive paths. Each set is separated by a comma and in this format:

{
    "input_paths": [
      "..\\PathToInputDirectory",
      "..\\PathToInputDirectory2"
    ],
    "output_path" : "..\\PathToOutputDirectory",
    "archive_path": "..\\PathToArchiveDirectory"
}

Input Paths

The input_paths characteristic is a comma-separated list of directory paths for the program to watch and pull files for conversion.

Output Paths

The output_path characteristic is the path to the directory where the program will output the converted files.

Archive Path

The archive_path characteristic is the path to the directory where the program will move the original unconverted file.
