# My use case:
# syncthing synchronizes ALL changes in DCIM directory on my android to PC.
# I wanted files to be copied somewhere else on my PC to stay forever, so I
# could sort them later and safely free some space on mobile without loss.
# Also I wish to have some stupid log with history of such events.
# inotify-tools package must be installed!
# CHANGE THIS PARAMETERS to ones you needed

# --quiet -- print less (only print events)
# --monitor -- don't stop after first event (like infinite loop)
# --event -- first syncthing creates hidden file to write data into
# then renames it according to source file name, so here
# we listen to MOVED_TO event to catch final filename
# --format %f -- print only filename
# --include -- filename regexp to catch event from, ensure your $regexp
# is correct or remove line 32 to catch synced ALL files
