How do I set folders the helper should operate on?

The folders that should be processed by the helper tool are shown in a table in the middle of the control window.

To add a folder press the Add... button. Select one or more folders in the open sheet that will be displayed and press OK. The folders will be added to the list.

To remove one or more folders from the list, select them and press the Delete button.

• The helper tool will only process folders stored on file systems that support resource forks and permission settings natively.
• If you select a folder that is specified by an alias, the alias will be resolved automatically at the time the selection is made.
• If a specified folder contains a Macintosh alias, file operations take place on the alias itself, not on the referenced file. If a specified folder contains a Unix link (or symbolic link), file operations take place on the linked file, not on the link itself. If a specified folder contains a Unix link (or symbolic link) to another folder, the helper process will not process the contents of the linked folder for security reasons.
• If specified folders are deleted while the helper process is running, the helper will ignore this, even if all folders are removed. When such a folder is recreated under the same name later, the helper will automatically detect this and continue its work on this folder.
