It features a system tray interface and robust file handling capabilities.\n\n## Features\n\n- 🔍 Real-time file monitoring\n- 🚀 Automatic file upload to webhook endpoint\n- 🛡️ Configurable file/folder exclusions\n- 🔄 Duplicate file detection\n- ⚙️ YAML-based configuration\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- Python 3.x\n- Windows OS\n- Required Python packages (Make sure to install these python libraries):\n  - psutil\n  - PyQt5\n  - watchdog\n  - pyyaml\n  - requests\n\n## Installation \u0026 Setup\n\n1. Download the latest release from the repository\n2. Extract all files to your desired location\n3. Modify the `config.yaml` file with your settings:\n   - Set the directory path you want to monitor\n   - Add your webhook URL\n   - Configure any file extensions or folders to ignore\n4. Double-click `start_monitor.bat` to run the service\n   - The script will automatically check for required Python packages and install them if missing\n   - A system tray icon will appear when the service starts successfully\n\n# Running the Service:\n\n**Option 1 - Manual Start (Recommended):**\n- Navigate to the folder containing the FileMonitorX files\n- Double-click `start_monitor.bat` to run the service\n- This ensures all required files are available and in the correct directory\n\n**Option 2 - Automatic Startup: [ask ChatGPT to update the code]**\nIf you want the service to start automatically with Windows, you have two choices:\n\n1. Modified Batch File:\n   - Create a copy of `start_monitor.bat`\n   - Edit the copy to include the full path to your FileMonitorX directory\n   - Add a `cd` command to change to that directory\n   - Place this modified batch file in your Windows startup folder (Win + R → `shell:startup`)\n\n2. Task Scheduler:\n   - Open Windows Task Scheduler\n   - Create a new task that runs at startup\n   - Set the \"Start in\" directory to your FileMonitorX folder\n   - Set the action to run `start_monitor.bat`\n\nNote: The service must be able to access all its files (control.py, monitor.py, config.yaml) to function properly. Always ensure these files are present in the working directory.\n\n## Using FileMonitorX\n\n### Starting the Service\n- Double-click `start_monitor.bat`\n- Look for the system tray icon indicating the service is running\n- The service will automatically monitor your specified directory\n\n### System Tray Features\nRight-click the system tray icon to:\n- View the monitored directory\n- Check service status\n- Exit the service\n\n### Control Commands\nThe service can be managed using these commands:\n- Start: `control.py start`\n- Stop: `control.py stop`\n- Status check: `control.py status`\n\n## Configuration Guide\n\nThe `config.yaml` file controls service behaviour. Key settings include:\n\n1. Monitoring Path:\n   - Set the directory you want to monitor\n   - Use double backslashes for Windows paths\n\n2. Webhook URL:\n   - Add your webhook endpoint for file uploads\n\n3. File Exclusions:\n   - List extensions to ignore (e.g., .tmp, .log)\n   - Specify folders to skip\n\n4. Monitoring Options:\n   - Enable/disable recursive monitoring of subdirectories\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\nFor any issues, Please talk to your developer or use ChatGPT to troubleshoot the issue.
