## Allowed Files

![](/files/7t3I1IbZ2iEAxZoUzrru)

Set filter for file extensions to import.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If file extension is not supported by Premiere Pro or After Effects\
file won't be imported.
{% endhint %}

## Ignored Folders

![](/files/862DPOGfyG4e88x2MpoT)

Set folder names to be ignored during import.

Filter is case insensitive, adding "proxies" will filter out all folders:\
"proxies", "Proxies", "PROXIES", "pRoXiEs" etc.

You can set [**Regex**](/extensions/watchtower/settings/regex-folder-name-filter.md) filter as well, put regex pattern between two slashes: "/\_AME/"

{% hint style="info" %}
When new folder created inside watch folder, "untitled folder" (or another name, depending on OS language) will be immediately added to project, before you have time to rename it.

To avoid this, add "untitled folder" to folder name filter in settings
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://manuscript.knightsoftheeditingtable.com/extensions/watchtower/settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
