Can there be a background program to monitor the folder?

Now, if I accidentally click on ❌, the software closes and cannot watch the folder. It would be great if there was a program like XnConvert Helper that could continuously monitor in the background.

Monitor for what, if it isn't a silly question... :wink:

And what action would you want to occur, are you possibly referring to the XnConvert / XnView MP Batch convert 'Hot folder' folder watching action?

My point is about the issue with the hot folder, because now it can't watch the folder if you close the window, if I'm not mistaken.
