CrushTask

A brand new plugin is coming to CrushFTP called CrushTask. As for now, I plan on this being a free plugin. It adds a complex task system for CrushFTP events on uploads or downloads.

For example, some images just arrived from a designer of yours. You setup an event to run a CrushTask set of tasks.

Move the files to a new location.
Execute an external task to create thumbnails of the images.
Copy the files to several other FTP servers.
Wait for simultaneous copies to complete.
Send an email notification to a coworker about the files being posted.
Delete the original files.

You get the idea? Additionally, third party hooks are going to be allowed with the plugin as well.

With the rewritten event system in CrushFTP 5, events are more reliable too!
