Email the FileOwner

I want a fileshare that users can drop things into and then have an action performed on them.
What I'm needing from robotask is a way to find out who dropped the item in and then get their email address.
I'm not seeing anything under file attributes
Is this available anywhere?

Yes, I use something similar in another product that extracts names from a pdf and creates filenames accordingly.
But I dont see there being an option to figure out who dropped the file in, like a file owner attribute.
Anyone?

We'll investigate this.
Maybe we will implement variable or/and action to determine file owner in future versions.
I mean Owner attribute on NTFS file system

Now you can use
Get File Metadata action to retrieve FileOwner
Each file has
Owner property on NTFS file system
Get File Metadata is new action in version 7.1
Look at the example below:
Code: Select all

Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
