Done - not nice, but working :slight_smile:

        var String PathImages = "C:\\temp"
	var Integer CountImages = 2
	
	var File directory = new File (PathImages)
	var File[] listOfFiles = directory.listFiles()
	val List<String> attachmentUrlList = newArrayList()
	attachmentUrlList.clear()
		
	var File[] SendFiles = listOfFiles.sortBy[lastModified].take(CountImages)
	SendFiles.forEach [x | 
		var String PathString = "file:" + x.path
		//logWarn(PathString, PathString)
		var String FileString = PathString.replace("\\", "/")
		logWarn(FileString, FileString)
		attachmentUrlList.add(FileString)	
	]
	var String mailSubject =  "http://blablabla.net/"
	var String mailObject = "Bewegungsalarm!"
	sendMail("blabla@gmail.com", mailObject, mailSubject, attachmentUrlList)
