#### Automated folder watcher & IF/THEN rule engine with doc content match

A lightweight Linux alternative to classic rule-based folder monitoring tools
inspired by FileJuggler workflows. Independent open-source Linux project, not
affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any Windows software vendors.

AUTOMATED FOLDER MONITOR & MULTI-CONDITION IF / THEN ENGINE

* Watch multiple directories simultaneously via QFileSystemWatcher events plus
  a configurable poll interval timer with Start, Pause, and Run Now controls.
* Compose multi-condition ALL (AND) or ANY (OR) rules matching Extension,
  Glob or RegEx filename, Size threshold, File Age in days, and real File
  Contents extracted from PDF, DOCX, XLSX, ODT, EML, and plain-text files.
* Trigger automated Move, Copy, Date YYYY/MM Subfolder sorting, Zip or 7z
  archiving, and SHA-256 checksum sidecar generation.

DRY-RUN SIMULATOR, AUDIT LOG & 1-CLICK ROLLBACK

* Evaluate all active rules against any real directory in the Dry-Run
  Simulator before enabling live monitoring, showing exact content match
  evidence and resolved target paths without modifying files.
* Review every action in the persistent Execution Audit Log with SHA-256
  sidecar verification, CSV export, and 1-click batch rollback.
