Sort on Job Size

This is an example script that shows how you can retrieve the size of a job (file or job folder) and use that to filter files into one or the other direction.

Information

Supported by: PowerSWITCH (MAC and WIN)
Language: JavaScript

Description:

This script uses 2 properties which are shows on the Script element after selecting this script.

• argDirection
  Is shown as "Allow files that are" and allows you to choose between "smaller than" and "bigger than".
• argSizeInKB
  The number you enter here is used to make the difference between the small and the big files.

These properties make the script a lot more portable; you can change the way the script works just by changing the values of these properties (without having to change the script).

The script only allows fail and success data connections. If the file matches the criteria it will be moved through the success connection and otherwise through the fail connection.
