Issue 1: "Polly fails to start after update"
Cause: Conflicting old plugins.
Fix: Navigate to C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\FileDotto\plugins (Windows) or ~/Library/Application Support/FileDotto/plugins (Mac). Delete all third-party plugins, then restart. The updated Polly has a new plugin API, so old extensions are not compatible.

- Download Filedotto v[XX] from the official website or app store. Polly is enabled by default.

Power User Tips: Unlocking Hidden Gems
The average user will enjoy the speed boost, but power users can exploit deeper features in the FileDotto Polly updated version.
- Hotkey scripting: Press
Ctrl+Shift+Pto open the Polly command palette. From there, you can type natural language commands like "Archive all PDFs older than 90 days" without setting up a permanent rule. - Regex 2.0: The updated Polly supports recursive regex for file renaming. For example,
s/^invoice_(\\d4)/Q1_$1/will rename all "invoice_2024" files to "Q1_2024" inside a selected folder and all subfolders. - Polly Listeners: This is a new background service that watches your clipboard. If you copy a file path from Explorer or Finder, Polly automatically suggests a destination folder based on your history. To enable, toggle
Settings > Listeners > Enable Clipboard AI.
