I have tried to use a relative path ( Set Variable ) which does not workĪnd the results of BE_SelectFolder ( Set Variable ) which does work.

However, I can assume that the folder structure will be different on the clients machine (this will be a runtime). Thanks for the reply! Doing that indeed did add the list of the files.

The best way to understand the paths are to run the functions BE_SelectFile ( "" ) and BE_SelectFolder ( "" ). The "from" and "to" parameters are paths again.

This obviously is not an option in the Windows version and am trying to use this plugin to accomplish this. Upon completion, move the files imported into a done folder. Loop in a script to import the multiple files into a table Read in a list of files in a specific folder (relative to DB folder) into a global field.
