Watched Folder
Watched folders enable you to create ongoing batch
processes. Once a watched folder process has been started,
Capture NX 2 will continually monitor for new images
within the watched folder and process the images until the
process is canceled. This is especially helpful when you send
your images directly from your camera to a specific folder
on your computer rather than using a flash card. The
watched folder feature contains the following controls:

like Capture NX 2 to monitor the contents of any
subfolders within the watched folder.
