Base folder

The base folder is the root folder from which you can make other folders branch auto­matically. You do not necessarily have to define a base folder, and even if you do, the various folders don’t need to be directly under the base folder. It may however be recommended to do so.

Input and output folders can be defined using absolute paths, or using relative paths. For these relative paths, the base folder will be used as “starting location”

For example, you can define a base folder for each hot folder, as shown in the example below.
