Events

The following events will trigger autogenerate of the path tag and the execution of the rules

• create then a file is created
• rename a file is renamed or moved
• active leaf change when you create or open another file. Folder tags will not be updated!

JavaScript

You can add your own JavaScript function to be executed each time the event is triggered
