Hi KPdolphin,
In a nutshell, select something besides 'None' for:
* Apply develop preset (consider this a confirmation).
* Add to Publish collection (if it doesn't matter to you, it won't matter to Folder Watch - i.e. any publishable collection will work).
* Publish this collection (yeah: the one you set up, e.g. hard drive..).
( I dunno details - never done it m'self )
* Leave 'add to standard collection' alone, since you're interested in a publish collection (you can do both, but a standard collection has nothing to do with exporting after import).
But yes, you have to setup a publish service if you want to export after import using jf Folder Watch. If hard drive service will do it, then that's all you need.
If you are willing to setup a publish service, Folder Watch will probably be a more straight-forward option than using Ottomanic Importer, but if you do decide to go with Ottomanic, I'll help you configure it.
PS - there are 2 ways to get rendered photos out of Lightroom:
1. export
2. publish
Some plugins support both, some only one of those. Folder Watch allows you to link to a publish service, but not to an export service.
(export services can be seen in the export dialog: 'Export To' drop-down, publish services you setup in corresponding section of Lr UI - lower left panel in Library module)
