Re: path-based filesystem watch limitation

But the watch is still desired. In practice, though, it doesn't cause problems. I don't know of any trusted app that renames a directory and creates a new data file. There could be user defined watches that might have problems with the current behavior, though. There is also no way to specify that you want to watch a file on an unmounted partition or non-existing directory. Just thought I'd bring this up too. Not really needed, though. -Steve
