Common Issues

Command Not Found​

Verify installation:

foldr --help

Ensure Python scripts are available in PATH.


Files Were Not Moved​

Check:

  • ignore rules
  • file extensions
  • category configuration

Watch Mode Does Not Trigger​

Confirm that the watcher process is still running. Watch mode does not automatically restart after a machine reboot.

Verify active watchers:

foldr watches

Check the watcher log under ~/.foldr/watch_logs/ on Linux and macOS, or %USERPROFILE%\.foldr\watch_logs\ on Windows.


Undo Did Not Restore a File​

The file may have changed since the original operation.

FOLDR skips files when restoring them could overwrite later changes. This is intentional protection. Duplicate-removal operations cannot be undone.
