To tell Llama Carbon Copy which folder you want to watch, you have to create a new job. You can do this by clicking on the New button on the top left hand side of the screen. Once you have done that, you will be presented with a screen that appears as follows:


Type the name of the job you want to create into the field.


Next you are required to identify the original (source) directory that Llama Carbon Copy will watch for changes. If you press tab from where you entered the name or simply click on the Source Directory field you will be able to easily select the directory you want to watch. Here's what you'll see:



Find the directory you want Llama Carbon Copy to watch, select it and click Ok.

Proceed through the same steps to select the copy (destination) directory. Click on the Copy button, and you will be presented with the folder selection dialog once again. Find your folder and click Ok.



Once you have selected both original and copy directories the job will be saved automatically. When you save a job, Llama Carbon Copy will automatically start watching that folder. No further effort is required.


Final Note


Llama Carbon Copy is designed to stay out of your way while you work. If you minimize the Llama Carbon Copy main window, it will disappear from your taskbar. This is by design, and is an attempt to keep from cluttering up task bar real estate. At any time you can get the Llama Carbon Copy main window back by clicking on the system tray icon located in the bottom right hand corner of your screen. It is the two orange llamas in the picture below:
