Hi @seanap - thank you for this app! I have a suggestion for your documentation at this step:

Test it by Copying an audiofile to /Original. Make sure it's working before moving on

What I found was that although I was dropping several different files here, nothing would actually copy and the logs for DropIt inexplicably told me they were skipping every file. I eventually discovered that the reason for this was because of the advanced filter in the BookCopy profile that only copies files if they're updated or created in the last 5 minutes.

I completely see why this makes sense once you're up and running, but at the testing stage here, it'd be quite helpful if you add a note to users to untick these values in the filter while testing to make sure the script works.

Hopefully this tip helps a future user! Thank you again for the software!
