- path: "/home/user/Downloads"
  destination: "/home/user/Documents"
  ext: ".txt"
- path: "/home/user/Downloads"
  destination: "/home/user/Videos"
  ext: ".mp4"

pollingInterval: 10
watchers:
- path: "/home/user/Downloads"
  destination: "/home/user/Documents"
  ext: ".txt"
  pattern: "(?i)(financial-report-[a-z]+-[0-9]+.txt)"
  priority: 0
- path: "/home/user/Downloads"
  destination: "/home/user/Videos"
  ext: ".mp4"
  priority: 1

With the content above, create a config.yaml file. You can then pass it as a flag to switchboard like so:

switchboard watch --config config.yaml
