AE Network Render startup in “watchfolder scan mode”
Hi,
Is there a way, maybe an startupscript that automatically scans my watchfolder after the AErender (AE cc2014) started up? At the moment i have to go into the render machine and select the watchfolder each time after startup.I would like to have the render client run without monitors,keyboards, mouses connected and not having to access them via screen sharing each time i want to render. I couldnt find that specific information anywhere, so any insight on this will be highly appreciated!!
Thanks a lot!

….i found a workaround with applescript myself… sometimes it`s great not giving up too soon:-))
maybe there is a more elegant way.. but this works.
compiled as app and used as login item.
AE render seems to remember the last watch folder selected, so i didn`t have to set the path.
might look quirky to a pro, i`m just happy it works,i`m not a programmer and just collected and tried snippets of code until it worked.
