Watch folders and history
Watch folders
Point S Converter at a folder, and every new file that arrives is converted automatically.
- Open Settings, and next to Watch folders press Set up.
- Press ＋ Add a folder and choose it, for example Pictures\Screenshots.
- Pick what to do with new files: a format such as To JPG, or a preset such as Private copy or Email.
Results go into a Converted folder inside the watched folder, so nothing is moved or overwritten. Each folder has a switch to pause it; ✕ stops watching.
Good uses:
- Screenshots → JPG, smaller for sharing
- Scanner folder → PDF
- Phone photos → private copies without location
Watching works while S Converter runs in the system tray. It waits until a file has finished copying, then converts it. Files that were already in the folder are left alone.
Tools that need a choice or a password (Merge, Lock, Form photo) can't run unattended, so they aren't in the list.
History
Press History at the bottom of the sidebar to see every job, from the app, the wheel, the right-click menu, the clipboard or a watch folder, newest first. Open opens the result, Show shows it in its folder. Files you've since moved or deleted are marked.
History keeps the last 300 jobs, only on your PC. Clear history empties it.
