View source: R/folder.observe.R

Sets a folder to constantly scan for new files. New files will be moved to a new subfolder of the same name and MaxQuant analysis is started. For proper usage this function requires a working MaxQuant installation on the system. In the initial run folder.observe will ask for the system path to MaxQuant and a useable fasta database. The database has to be configured in the used MaxQuant distribution, otherwise folder.observe will return an error message and stops the analysis.
