The feature does not exist directly - however you can already achieve this using Command Line Automation and the Windows Scheduler.
Create your Method Batch as normal and save it as a Method List file (.aren). You can then execute this batch by running the executable arenc.exe from either the command line or a Windows batch file (.bat), specifying the folder you wish to monitor. Finally create a Scheduled Task in Windows to run the batch file at specified times. It's not as difficult as it sounds. Save the Method List using the right-most button on the "Renaming method list" toolbar. Create the command line code using the "Command line configuration..." tool (Program menu) and save in a .bat file. See the User Guide for more information: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/comma ndline Search Google for "windows scheduled task" for instructions on setting up the task scheduler. |
