I have a watch folder set up for MC to auto import from and move the files to another location. But when it moves everything out of the folder, it deletes the empty folder. How can I stop this?

You have two options...

If you actually want MC to remove empty folders after a regular "rename, move copy" job, then drop a blank text file, or any other file that is outside of the MC watch criteria, into your watched folder. Make it hidden if you prefer. MC will not remove a folder that is not empty. This will preserve your watched folder, while all other areas are treated the way you want.

If you want MC to ask every time, open options, type reset in the search bar at the bottom, and hit the "reset all confirmation messages" option. Next time, MC will ask you what you want to do about the empty folder, and you can take it from there yourself.

The first option is my preferred choice.

Good trick, thanks!
