New in Studio 2019
A new feature implemented in InSource for Studio 2019 are the notifications. When a new project request is added to "Watch folder" if the timer is enabled a new notification will appear in Studio with the name of the project and the request path.
This notifications will appear also when you start Studio if a new project was added to watch folder when Studio was closed.
From notification area you can create projects for that project request. A confirmation message will appear after the project was created and the notification will be removed for created project.
Newly created project will be available in Studio Projects View.
