# Description of Changes Add new triggers: - Schedule (fires every X amount of time) - Folder watch (fires whenever the OS tells us a folder has a new file in it; on Mac this is technically a 2s schedule but that's just how Java implements it) Add new sources: - Folder (reads from this directory) Add new sinks: - Inline (stores in FileStorage) - Folder (stores in specified directory) Still want to do S3 buckets and web hooks and stuff, but they can come in a future PR. I'm hoping this should make it sufficient to be able to integrate with processing folders frontend etc. I've also changed it so that policies can have multiple sources and triggers at once, which seems like it might be useful.
