When setted on " writeateble file closed "
seems work good if the file has been writted from an app,
but when I transfer a file to the observed directory using bluetooth or via usb cable
the trigger don't switch and the flow log is empty.
Any suggestion?
Thank you

Re: File observer trigger problem
Read the help section and setting descriptions.
"Writable file closed: Someone had a file or directory open for writing, and closed it." This is clearly not the case when moving(transferring) files. Please check what "File moved to" option does.

Please also note that the file observer does not work for all directories/apps equally well on Android 6. Google is aware about several internal bugs of the API used but seems not be interested to fix the bugs 

Re: File observer trigger problem
I choosed the trigger "Writable file closed" because I need to move the files from one directory to another ,
sometimes the file are big files so I suppose that cannot move a file while is writing ( it takes time to be completely written to the source directory and when the writing process has ended the file it's ready to be moved).
I suppose the right trigger for this puprouse is "Subfile created" even for big files.
But I need to switch the trigger where there is e new file in a directory ( I don't care if it has beene moved from another directory or as been created from an app)
PS Fortunately I don't have Android 6
Thank you !

Re: File observer trigger problem
I've tried using the "Subfile created" trigger.
It seems working but the transfer process from the PC to the source directory on the smartphone it's really slower .
Any suggest to keep the transfer process to the normal speed?
