Description

Sorry, but before I go through all this paper-work I'd like to ask the question whether or not the authors of this nice converter app expect that PDFs should be generated when the workflow condition "file accessed" is met?

Nothing happens when I access a file, but the conversion machinery does its job for newly generated files (really new files, renamed files). Copy would work safe for #449.

Research direction

The report mentions the “file accessed” workflow condition and says conversion works for newly generated or renamed files, but it names no files or tests. First compare the condition’s behavior with those working triggers and determine whether conversion on access is intended; done means either confirming the expected behavior or defining the fix needed when access should trigger conversion.
